Re: Basic for IIGS



G'day!
There was Micol Advanced BAsic for the IIe that ran under Prodos and was very advanced with what you want, and then there was the GS version that ran under GSOS that was a more advanced version of the IIe version, that accessed all the GS capabilities. I used for for ages and thought it was great!

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;
