Would anyone be interested in a PD GFA BASIC compiler? I am seriously considering writing one. It would compile GFA BASIC programs on UNIX machines, although I suppose I could easily modify it to run on an ST as well. If I wrote one, would I have any legal problems with which to deal? My friend and I decided that I would not. We figure that I'm just writing a program which takes input in the form of a gfa-basic program and compiles it and thus would not have anything about which to worry. Is this an accurate assumption? If there's anything you would like put in there, or not put in there, let me know (I'm only dealing with a subset of GFA-BASIC, mainly a simple version of 2.0). Graphics is out of the question, at least until I learn how to program in X Windows in the next month or so. (Isn't writing without leaving prepositions at the end of a sentence lots of fun? :-) --Cliff -- cliff@jarthur.claremont.edu | "Ted Striker? Never heard of him.
