GS Basic may still be interpreted BASIC, but it IS (sort of) structured, with labels, procedures and (gasp!) LOCAL VARIABLES! It includes easy, some-what error-checked methods for using the toolbox, and ways to bring in modules compiled in other languages. On the same disk, they gave me a copy of the finder. It's a bit slow, but for those with a hard disk, it's quite nice. Forgive me if I repeat previously posted material, but there doesn't seem to be much else happening. ----- Nick Sayer | Packet Radio: N6QQQ @ WA6RDH | CMS: SYSOP@STOKTON%STOCKTON uucp: ...!sdcsvax!ucbvax!ucdavis!uop!mrapple | Fido: 161/31 Disclaimer: You didn't REALLY believe that, did you?
