Chill guys! I know of at least one Basic for OS/2, Liberty Basic. Before
you ask, no I do not use Liberty Basic. You can find it at
http://world.std.com/~carlg/basic.html
If you do not have internet access let me know and I'll pull the files
down and make them available via FREQ or download.
Here is a cut from the WEB Page:
What is Liberty BASIC? Here are some highlights!
- A familiar version of BASIC. Simple and powerful.
- Visual programming made easy with FreeForm
- Integrated editor and a real source-code-level debugger!
- The choice of NRI Schools and ZD Net University!
- For Windows 3.1 & 95, and there's a native OS/2 version!
