I'm not asking for myself by the way. Would it be possible to run BASIC and create programmes in Ubuntu? A quick Google suggests WINE would be necessary. Thoughts? (Other than 'Why would you?') Bev.
Brandy BASIC? http://jaguar.orpheusweb.co.uk/branpage.html Derived from Acorn's BASIC V that was developed for RISC OS. Has roots back to the BBC Micro ... Peter. On 3 May 2013 09:55, Bev Nicolson <lumos60@gmail.com> wrote:

I have successfully used freebasic on ubuntu. http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbc/ It may not be the best but it worked without the need for WINE or any other such pre-requisites. I originally used it under windoze xp (about 10 years ago) and was able to migrate the programs written there to linux with very little difficulty. Nev
Here's two BASIC programs that I always meant to have a closer look at but never did! One is open source, the other a commercial product. 1. Gambas http://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html 2. Basic for Qt (previously called KBasic) http://www.q7basic.org/ Gambas would appear to run on a number of platforms, but not Windows at the moment. Basic for Qt does.
