[net.micro.apple] MacBASIC vs Microsoft BASIC Questions

ncoss@abnjh.UUCP (Scott D. Allen) (03/27/84)

[Burp!]

I just a purchased a Mac (I have to wait at least two weeks before delivery,
darn it!).  My questions has to do with the two BASIC packages available for
the Mac.

Has anyone seen MacBASIC and can tell me the difference between it and
Microsoft BASIC?

I know Microsoft is going to cost me about $150.  Anyone got a price and/or
due date for MacBASIC?

Any chance of either BASIC being compatible with the version that runs on
the Apple II+ or IIe?

I would really appreciate any help before the Mac arrives.  I have to start
cranking out BASIC programs ASAP.



					Thanks,
