after a frustrating session with amiga basic (I just needed something
to grind stupidly through a equation, so it wan't
a need for C)

PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT AMIGA BASIC for 1.4....

a language that complains about the following as a
FOR without Next error is a little F***ed...

j=0
for i = 0 to 0.5 step 0.1
j=j+1
if ((j/2) = (int(j/2))
then
 s = s + (4* (sin(i)/i))
elseif
 s = s + (2*(sin(I)/I))
end if
next i

yes, thats right, amiga basic says that doesn't have a next for the
for loop...
Of course my favourite AmigaBasic message is...
1980323 bytes free in system
25000 bytes free for basic

oh yes, and furthermore,
ITS TOO DAMN SLOW!!!

why not contract microsloth or borland to port either
Quack basic or Turbo Basic
to the amiga???

come on now, its 1 million machines now, we at least deserve
to have Borland creating stuff for our machine.
(heck they made stuff for the MAC when it was barely 400000 units)

How about it someone???
