I was recently asked by one of the scientists here to price a
RISC/UNIX box to upgrade from his 386/DOS machine. The BASIC
language is a requirement for him as he's got alot of code in
BASIC that he doesn't want to rewrite. After checking a bit I
found *very* few vendors who sell BASIC for unix (nominal Sun).

Should I look for a source translator, is there a PD compiler that
can be used... any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
Joe
