Hi, a friend of mine is looking for the following: Source of a BASIC-Interpreter with floating point arithmetics in 8088/Z80 or 80286 assembler or floating point arithmetic routines in same assembler languages to be incorporated into a to be written BASIC interpreter. Purpose: He is working on his thesis in chemistry engineering which involves develop a portable real time data aquisition system (hardware and software). That system will run under a BASIC enabling the useres to write the programs for each run in a high level language. We are also looking for ISAM routines either in source code or OBJ files to be run on an IBM-PC/XT/AT, preferably public Domain. I'd appreciate any pointers to where to get those files if they exist. I have no ARPA access here in Germany. I can access the ARCHIVE- REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA by mail if they are already there. Otherwise one can send the files as UUencoded mail to this account. thanx in advance, el

I don't know what is available on SIMTEL20 in this area, but a publication appeared years ago (part of the "wizard-series") with a title something like "mysteries of Radio-Shack Microsoft Basic revealed". It is a paper copy (dis-assembly??) of the Z80 assembler for Radio Shack's BASIC. As I remember it was a f.p. BASIC, although not awfully fast. Another possible source is the government clearing house for technical information (N.T.I.S.) in suburban Wash. D.C. Seems to me that they had a BASIC called LLL-BASIC that was developed at Livermore Lab. Don't know much about that one either, except that it exists, it had f.p., and was written in either 8080 or Z80 assembler. Good Luck!

Another source for the LLL Basic is one of the early CP/M UG user disks (I don't have my disk list with me, but for some reason a volume # <20 comes to mind). Dave Ritchie ..!hplabs!hp-lsd!ritchie
