Just out of curiousity --- how many people do keep BASIC alive and runnable on their MSDOS box? I don't, never bought the language and don't intend to. (I went with Turbo Pascal v3.1 instead, back when I made that decision.)

I regularly use 3 BASICs - GW (because its there); QuickBasic (all the functionality of Turbo Pascal, interfaces to MS Fortran unlike TP); and UBASIC (love those 2600 digits of precision; try matching *that* with TP:-)

Actually, I have gotten away from BASIC, and into QuickBASIC. I happen to enjoy using it, when I have to. I mostly use C, though. - Jeff -- Jeff Boerio : Purdue University Dept. of Computer Science ajk@mace.cc.purdue.edu : Purdue University Computing Center Volunteer boerio@summer.ecn.purdue.edu : Purdue University ECN Student Programmer

Cast my vote as a BASIC user. I use the MS Quick Basic though. I never did like Borland's envirnment and I hate Pascal. Use Quick C mainly. -bryon-
