#MS-BASIC
4 messages in this thread
Bob, I tried to leave a long message but a bum finger and filge combined to
make it tuff. I have had AmigaBASIC from MS for a week now. My dealer gave it
to me as an upgrade and said that all of us would get it at no cost. The
hitch for me at this point is there are no docs yet and this baby is so
powerful that they are needed badly. I live in SC which is not the center of te
Silicon Universe so I can't figure why I would have this BASIC so soon. I wish
my finger was ok so I could ramble on about how great it is. No line numbers
needed. SUBs defined with local or global variables can be called by name. A
music demo that also draws graphics in a window on WB while you open other
windows and it doesn't miss a beat! Ported some PC-Basic prgs to it and they
ran first time! Some later ones req'ed modifcations. If you want more leave me
some yes no questions to save my finger.

Hi, Save the finger, You bear very good news. I'm putting the amiga on hold
for ms basic. No sense in converting twice. Thanks much. BTW you know when
it'l be available with the docs?

Bob, I have since been told that it is a pre-release version
that I have and not yet being distributed. I got it from my
Tech Rep who has no answers to most of my questions.
The main worry I have is that it still runs under the same
buggy OS that MetaComco has given us.

That is *indeed* a worry, from what I hear. Non-release of 1.1 of AmigaDos is
holding up release of a LOT of third-party software out here in Silicon Valley.
