To: all
Hello out there. I guess you guys are vendors so you're the ones to ask. My
computer came without any kind of BASIC, so I was wondering if you could tell
me where I could get some other than just copying someone else's. The software
stores I frequent all have your prerequisite C, TurboC, and C+ etc., but when
it comes to BASIC I can't seem to find any. Any replies and/or ideas would be
appreciated.
Thank You,
David Gonzalez

Thanks for the inquiry, David. We publish the PowerBASIC Compiler, which is
the upgrade to Borland's previous Turbo Basic. We believe it's the finest
version of Basic available, but as the author, I might be a little biased.
PowerBASIC is a complete development environment, featuring an integrated
editor and debugger, as well as a command-line version. To get more
information, you may wish to download the file PWRBAS.ZIP from our library
section here. It contains a complete overview of the features. Also, you may
wish to check out our reviews in the July Dr. Dobb's or PC Techniques.
PowerBASIC is supplied with full documentation: User's guide and Reference
manual -- over 800 pages. It's available from many software suppliers,
including Egghead Discount Software stores, or directly from Spectra. The
suggested retail price is $129.00. If you have any specific questions, let's
hear them! We'd like to be of help.

Well, David, at most stores you won't find GW Basic unless you find it with
DOS. And that is normally where it is found. Your machines DOS masters disks
don't have it?
Anyway, for the BEST basic compiler around, you can check out any Egghead
software store, or many ads in computer mags for PowerBASIC. You can also order
direct from Spectra at 408-730-9291. If you previously owned Turbo BASIC, this
will cost $59. The Retail price is $129, and the street price is somewhere
around $60-$70.

Thanks, I'll look for them. Yes my DOS came without BASIC of any kind, in a
package from Epson. I had to return a Packard-Bell whose BASIC I should have
copied, but every computer I've seen had BASIC on board, even AMSTRAD. I just
figured this one would too, but I can't argue as I was able to get an even swap
for this AT and the Packard-Bell was an XT. Thanks again.
