Does anyone know of a good Basic compiler or interpreter which will run under BSD flavored UNIX? A public domain one would be nice, but not essential. We've had a number of users inquire about one. Thanks in advance; -- ARPA: abrams@bnl.APRA BITNET: abrams@bnl.BITNET UUCP: ....philabs!sbcs!bnl!abrams

We have been running a BASIC from the University of British Columbia, written long ago by Bill Webb. It is supplied by the Biosciences Data Center University of British Columbia 2204 Main Mall Vancouver, B. C. V6T - 1W5 In May 1986 the person to contact was Ms. Susan Ertis, reachable as ..!ubc-vision!bdcvax!susan. At the time we payed $120, which was a copying and handling fee. It was certainly worth it. It works well, though clearly the directory is in the state it was in when work on it stopped. As I recall, it will not accept tabs in lieu of spaces betweeline number and line (or before line number).
