Chipmunk Basic is a freeware old-fashioned Basic Interpreter, accelerated for
the PowerMac, yet still compatible with old 68k Macs running System 6. It
includes a simple sprite graphics engine.
Every personal computer should come with a simple, easy to learn, programming
language. Chipmunk Basic was my contribution for the very first PowerMacs.
Version 3.2.1 is a both bug fix and new feature release. It is still free for
educational and non-commercial distribution and use (but only for those who
don't believe that using the BASIC language causes brain damage :-). Permission
is granted to include this version of Chipmunk Basic on CD-ROM compendiums of
Macintosh archives. Please replace older versions of Chipmunk Basic in the
archives with this version.
Version 3.2.0 fixes several bugs in the input statement and input$ function and
problems with serial port I/O. Added to the language are limited versions of
the SELECT CASE statement, the PRINT USING statement and 16-bit integer arrays.
Version 3.2 is almost completely AppleScriptable and supports Drag & Drop.
Version 3.2.1 fixes a problem with the Draglib link and SIZE resource.
Chipmunk Basic only come with a man page and a quick reference to Mac specific
functions. The language is mostly compatible with books on programming in BASIC
that were written between 1978 and 1988.
Please report any bugs you may find to rhn@netcom.com .
