[comp.sys.sgi] BASIC for 4D

mlj8e@mljsg.pharm.Virginia.EDU (Michael Johnson) (06/12/90)

I know this seems rediculous, but I have a user with a lot of
DEC MINC BASIC programs which we need to run on either a PC
or our 4D so we can junk the MINC.  

Does anyone have
 1) A BASIC interpreter/compiler for a 4D?
 2) A language translator for BASIC to C on the 4D?
 3) A language translator for BASIC to FORTRAN on the 4D?

I know that there is a BASIC interpreter in the UNIX source 
archives.  Has anyone ported it to a 4D?

Any suggestions would be helpfull.

Thanks.

You might want to try SoftPC which you can get from SGI for a nominal fee.  IF
you don't already have a PC connected to the net which you can use for the
floppy disk drive, you can get one of those from SGI as well.  Not a great 
solution, but it'll work.
