The following are messages I got from people replying to my request
for basic for unix:
Looking for recommendations for what kind of basic (yes, basic) to run
on a 4.3bsd unix system (sperry 7040 (tahoe) to be exact). I have a
version of UBC basic that has severe garbage collection problems among
other things. Had Phil's Basic running under 4.2 for a while. Any other
ideas?

=You wrote an article on USENET that said you would post a summary
=on basic->C converters and/or BASIC compilers running under UNIX.
=If you never get around to doing so, I would be very interested in

= I don't know how much use to you this will be, but there's at least one
=Basic to C translator out there, called Bastoc. My memory fails me about who
=makes it, but you can probably find ads in the IBM PC magazines. When I used
=it about 2 years ago it was a pretty mechanical thing that needed a special
