I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have access to the net. And the question is ... Does anyone have knowledge of any BASIC compiler/interpreters other than Microsoft's that they could recommend. The file handling capabilities of Microsoft's offerings appear inadequate. End of message. Replys via news or E-mail. Thanks in advance, Mark Kilby mck@beach.cis.ufl.edu

One Basic compiler for Mac is ZBasic. Zedcor also has versions out for Apple II, IBM, and CPM machines. I've been using the Apple II version and it is a very competent version of Basic. Support for long functions, call to labels, and no line numbers is all standard. The commands are common across all version of ZBasic greatly simplifying porting. From the manual, the Mac support seems very complete, including built in support for most of the useful toolbox commands. Last I saw, it is available for about $95 at your local 800 number. ross =========================== Bitnet: rc3h+@andrew.cmu.edu Bellnet: (412) 687-6149 Postnet: PO Box 262, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, Pa 15213-3890 Losenet: !dont!even!try!this!!!!!! ===========================
