Hello all... I currently am using GFA Basic, but people have been recommending that I get Hi Soft Baisc. I would like to know how it compares to GFA Basic in speed. If it is an interpreter like GFA Basic or if it is like more traditional basics with line numberss etc. I also would like to know if it has similar commands and powers as GFA Basic. Would it be easy to program on Hi Soft after learning GFA (i.e. are the commands the same)? Does it allow easy reading of the mouse joystick, modem, printer, MIDI, etc.? Does it allow easy use of the menus as in GFA Basic? Does it have many windowing commands and GEM calls (line A, AES, etc.)? Thanks in advance.
