- True Basic is a very nice BASIC development system from the company of
- the same name.
-
- Besides being a nice Mac Basic, it includes libraries of interface and
- graphics code that can be cross-compiled to DOS, SUN, and a few others.
- And it creates true compiled applications.
-
-
- I haven't used it myself for more than some quick graphing and matrix
- applications, but I would recommend it over MS Basic for anyone
- who needs to program in Basic. And they do have a very cheap
- student version as well.
