Re: GSoft BASIC Free Version

[limtc <thyechean@gmail.com>]

I think Prizm + GSoft BASIC will be a good bundle. I personally think
there are 2 type of Applesoft BASIC programmers that Mike can target:

- Professional developer who wanted to create a compiled BASIC code
(S16), desktop application, with familiar Applesoft syntax. Or maybe
able to cross compile to other platforms?
- Applesoft programmer who just wanted HGR that supports 320x200x16
colors, and happy to use interactive mode.

Give the Prizm to the free version and constraint them to the latter
group, I think this will make a lot of people very happy and might
move GSoft BASIC further. Many of these programmers might become
professional developer one day.

Anyway, I actually never come across GSoft BASIC except only recently
when I am looking for a Applesoft replacement for my son.
