Short: Bywater BASIC (Simple basic interpreter) Author: Ted A. Campbell Uploader: alexmcneil.(at).googlemail.com (Alex McNeil) Type: dev/lang Version: 1.11 Requires: i386 AROS Architecture: i386-aros [needs ixemul.library] I came across this very small basic on my 'Language/OS' CD-ROM, and accidentally typed `make' :-). Since more people might want to give it a try, I thought I'd dump it on aminet. Note very well though, I do not intend to support this software in _any_ way. With that out of the way: This is quite a small basic, and it seems to conform to some ANSI standard for basic (read about that in the original `read.me'). It organises sources with the infamous line-number method. If you start the the interpreter, you can pas a name of a sourcefile on the command-line which it will immediately run. On the command line one can enter BASIC-expressions directly, or precede them with line-numbers to form a program. as an extra it also acts a bit like a shell, as it seems to execute all commands it doesn't understand via amigados. also it has some builtin dos-stuff. about the `port': this was done no modifications of significance to the original source. some parts where compiled without the -O option though, since otherwise my GCC would guru. Have fun, Wouter. ------------------------------------------------------ Notes: compiled for AROS i386 on 16/9/2008, launch by changing to the directory that contains bwbasic and then launching it from shell. Exit by closing the shell. Compiled by Alex McNeil [DBAlex] Uploaded using: archives.aros-exec.org
