Re: Platform for BASIC?

[Phoenyx <quazar@dcnet2000.com>]

Here's some of the info I found from the file.

It is a modified Basic.system ver 1.2 and uses a standard startup
program as per Basic.system.

Original program by Patrick Buckland 1982. So there must have
been a DOS 3 version somewhere.

Modified for Prodos by Tony Morton 1989 with a copyright claim.
There were no documents with it or any claims on use or
distribution. Too, bad. If anybody has or finds a copy with doc's
I would appreciate hearing about it.

There is no info on how to contact either of these persons. I am
pretty certain it is okay to use since my copy was on a PD disk.
It has some nice commands for structured programming.

     APPLE II STRUCTURED BASIC V3.0

ORIGINAL PROGRAM BY PATRICK BUCKLAND '82

MODIFIED FOR PRODOS BY TONY MORTON 1989

Memory free from start up without a program = 31740. Not bad, but
this doesn't allow for graphics programs. I suppose the next step
is to see if ExtraK works with it.

Here is the text from the dump. I think I have things separated
correctly. This is however, based upon experience with other
structured systems as well as Applesoft. I hope I got it right. I
will play with it some more and put my findings on my site.

Thank you for your time and interest. I hope it was helpful
or at least interesting.
