I recently began using Microsoft BASIC Ver. 2.0, and am really impressed
at the ease with which you can program in the "Mac" environment!
They've made it *SIMPLE* to deal with most user-interface aspects of the
Mac, including menus, dialog boxes with various types of buttons and
edit fields, mini-finders, etc, and have even provided for asynchronous
traps to allow unsolicited activity from any of these areas!
Of course, the only problem is that program execution speed is slow,
compared to a compiler.
(An idea for someone with lots of time who wants to make lots of money:
"What we REALLY need is a compiler which will take as input any valid
Microsoft BASIC Ver. 2 source file.")
