A ZBASIC demo is now available in the Public Domain. Its a fully functional
version of ZBASIC with some key limitations (such as it will only compile
programs that are 4K or less). 

I was playing around with its communications capabilities and I ran into some
problems reading the serial ports on my //c. I was able to write out to the
port without any problem, but I can't figure how to read from it.
I used the OPEN"C",-2 syntax to open port 2. Then I was able to PRINT#-2 to
the port. I couldn't get a LINEINPUT#-2, A$ to work though.

Anyone familiar with ZBASIC know the solution?
