DragonMage Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Well.. there is an rpm called yabasic in the contrib section of Mandrake. But since I haven't installed it, I don't know whether it is the one that you need. To install it, just go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ to setup your contrib mirror into your urpmi database. Then use rpmdrake and search for yabasic. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 There is this article regarding basic for linux http://www.devchannel.org/devtoolschannel/...2/1359202.shtml It seems that your best bet from this article is wxbasic which can be downloaded from http://wxbasic.sourceforge.net/index.php I have forgotten the many dialects of basic. I do remember that the BBC Micro dialect of Basic is different from IBM PC and Commodore 64. Anyway, read the article and see for yourself. If you need any help in installing any of those software, don't be shy to come to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
