At least two PD BASIC interpreters have been posted to some of the sources
groups. As for commercial BASIC's, there are quite a few of them. UX/BASIC
from HCR includes true ISAM file support (the interpreter is linked with
C-ISAM from Informix) and BASIC statements for many UNIX system calls. And
I'm sure there are a number of other BASIC's out there.
