[net.micro.68k] BASIC on the 68K

kiessig@sri-unix (07/23/82)

	There has recently been some discussion in net.general (!!)
of which BASIC's run under UNIX.  There is a very nice one, which
has been in use on minis for some time, called "Business Basic III".
This is the principal language of use by Basic Four.  This is an
interpretive BASIC.

	The intepreter has been ported to Fortune's 68000, and runs
under UNIX.  Some benchmarks place it at 3-4 times faster than its
minicomputer equivalent.
