X11-BASIC V.1.14

X11-Basic is a Basic interpreter with full X11 graphic capability. The syntax is most similar to the old GFA-Basic ATARI-ST implementation. Old GFA-Basic programs should run with only few changes. The actual implementation runs on UNIX workstations (DEC-alpha, HP-UX, FreeBSD, Mac-OSX, CygWin) and Linux-PCs (SuSE, Rethat, Mandrake, Debian, Puppy-Linux, DSL linux, ...) with the X Window system. The WINDOWS 95/98/NT-Version is still incomplete. Wth Version 1.14 also an ARM-Linux version is available. This version also runs on Handheld devices and Palmtops like the TomTom Car Navigation systems.

You can use the X11-Basic interpreter as a shell. Also for execution of CGI-Scripts. A pseudo compiler is shipped with the interpreter so that you can make stand-alone binaries out of your programs. You can do any data manipulation and you may use external functions and libraries. At least the X11-Basic interpreter is fast and small.

The WINDOWS95/98/NT/XP Version

Version 1.06, 1.07, 1.09, 1.10 and 1.12 now come as xbasic.exe. This Version is still not complete since the X11-Graphics is not fully portet. But the Text-mode works already. Just try and have fun ! I strongly recomment to use a cygwin installation of X11-Basic to have the full functionallity.

The ARM-Linux Handheld/Palmtop/TomTom Version

X11Basic can be installed and used on the TomTom ONE (car navigation system). You can use all commands and graphics on the 320x240 pixel color screen. To use it you will need TTconsole, which is available here: http://www.opentom.org/TomTom_Console.

Summary     : Basic Interpreter with X11-Graphics capabilities
Description :

X11-Basic implements the most common elements of the basic langugage. With
X11-graphics. The structure of the language is similar to the old ATARI ST
GFA-Basic. GFA-Basic programs should run with only few changes.

This package includes the basic interpreter named xbasic. It can be used as a
shell, can run basic-scripts. You can make excecutable  scripts p.ex.
*.cgi-Scripts for handling web-input. A pseudo compiler (xbc) is included which
makes stand alone binaries out of the scripts.

You will find the compiler sourcecode and many other sample programs in
/usr/share/doc/packages/X11Basic/examples.
