None.

Hmmm... I have registered both the OS/2 and Windows version of Liberty
BASIC. And while I'll admit that they aren't the BEST basics out there, it
IS CURRENTLY the only decent BASIC for OS/2. Until BART (visual basic) for
OS/2 goes GA, LIBERTY will have to do...

The current version of LIBERTY for OS/2 is .91, still a beta. I've
personally spoken to the developer several times about his OS/2 offerings
and I can tell you that the future is bright. There's DLL access, serial
support and CLI in the planning stages. Hang around some, Arnaud, it's
getting better. :')

By the way, $30.00 for LIBERTY is far cheaper than what IBM will ask for
BART, guarenteed! ;')

Cheers!
