Dick Smith & Jaycar sell these kits.

They probaby refer to GW Basic, though just about any language can write to
the centronics port.

If you are using Win9x, then QBASIC can be found on the Windows CD in
the \tools\oldmsdos directory.

Be warned though - if using Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP you don't
have native access to the parallel port. To fix this you need to a program
that simulate native access. Try one called UserPort. Once loaded you can
use the parallel port without any further hassle.

Yes, both Win 98 and Win 95 included QBASIC.
