Basic for IIGS

["mspangler" <mspangler@gemsi.com>]

Any recommendations for a non-Applesoft basic for a GS that doesn't run
GS/OS?

I want something that can boot up, run, and save files on one 800k
floppy on a pretty minimal GS. And I'd like something more advanced
than Applesoft (as in block if-then-else statements, repeat-until, case
statements, use more than 64 k of GS memory etc.)

GSBasic and MDBasic both need GS/OS 6. I don't know anything about TML
basic and AC Basic other than they existed. Were there any Basics that
would function on the pre-system 5 GS systems?

If not, would a command line interface like ECP cut down the overhead
in GS/OS enough so it would fit comfortably on one floppy?

The goal here is more in the data collection and I/O control line, not
games, and not much in graphics, except graphs, and maybe block
diagrams.

Thanks;
