[comp.unix.microport] Anybody heard of Thoroughbred Basic?

beattie@visenix.UUCP (Brian Beattie) (08/07/88)

(first response telling my about a better language get the booby prize)
I'm contemplating converting a system running on a Fortune system to a
386 pc running either System V/386 or Xenix 386.
Parts of the system are written in Thoroughbred Basic.  To make the
conversion as painless as possible I would like to find this package
for whichever I use.

Any help would be appriecated, please reply by Email.

Thanx beattie

you should still be able to get thoroughbred basic from the vendor.
i suggest you get a copy of the unix products directory from /usr/group,
which should list them.

i have been unable to locate a friend who runs thoroughbred basic on
his plexus machines.  hope this helps ...

It may list them, but unless it's *very* recent it will be wrong....

Thoroughbred BASIC is now owned by Concept Omega.  (Sorry, I don't have an
address or phone number handy!)

(P.S.  That product has passed through more owners...!)
