[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Zbasic

pearl@porthos.rutgers.edu (Starbuck) (11/06/89)

Hello!

A friend and I were considering the purchase of Z-basic by Zedcor.

We would like to hear some comments by netters about it.

Is it compatible with the cx and SE30?
Does it really do all that it claims to do?

Please email, I will summarize to the net.

     Could somebody please e-mail me docs for Zbasic?  Or explain
the following commands and reserved words:

BUTTON
DIALOG
MENU
CURSOR

I can't figure them out.  I have figured out TEXT, MOUSE, PLOT,
COLOR, and SOUND.  I can use the WINDOW command to create windows,
but wonder whether there isn't more to it.  (E.g., is it possible to
change the size and screen location of a window, or to write on a
"hidden" window?)

	Any other nonstandard features of ZBasic I should know
about?

	Any info appreciated.

	Thanx.

Of course, you might write to Zedcor and explain that you lost your manuals...
Um, you do OWN the manuals, don't you?
