  19. "Every personal computer should have a Basic interpreter; here's one for the PowerMac (and 68K Macs too).
  20. Chipmunk Basic is a simple Basic interpreter, accelerated for
  21. PowerMacs.  It is similar to the line number based MumbleSoft BASIC interpreters of circa 1980.  Its roots are from a pascal program, basic.p, that was part of the test input suite to p2c, a pascal to c translator.  Both basic.p and p2c should be in the net.sources archives somewhere.  I cleaned up the translated source, ported it to the Macintosh, fixed various bugs and added several Mac specific features."

  56. Hello,
  57.  
  58. >What is the etymology of CHIPMUNK (: why this name)?
  59. The old pascal version was named that way by Dave Gillespie when
  60. he was a student at Cal Tech.
