Has anyone out there heard of any companies selling BASIC for 2.9BSD or V7?
HCR sells one, but a very nice honest salesperson told me that it probably
wouldn't suit our needs for portability (it's written in assembly language,
and very much tied to the PDP architecture). Thanks in advance for any
information.

But Basic?? I always thought UNIX and C were intertwined for eternity. Please excuse me while I take a couple trips to the bathroom.
