• New BWBASIC Interpreter 3.20d for Coherent 4.2.14

    From KenUnix@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 12 15:55:16 2023
    Hi.

    I have finished converting a basic interpreter called BWBASIC.

    It has been around for several years and is very powerful. There
    is a fairly complex program bwbasic/relays.bas. This was written
    in BwBasic for use on a Beaglebone SBC running Debian. Of course
    this will not work on Coherent certain folders do not exist. It is
    only an example.

    It has been tuned for Coherent 4.2.14.

    Extensive documentation is available at:

    https://github.com/kenmartin-unix/Bwbasic-3.20d-Documents

    The source tar files and sample scripts and test scripts are at:

    https://yeolpishack.net/repos/KenUnix/Coherent-4.2.14-Applications/

    Download BWBCOH1.TAR , BWBCOH2.TAR and BWBASIC.TAR

    and untar then into your home directory.

    Once all untarred do the following:

    $ cd bwbcoh
    $ make
    (if successful)
    $ su
    # make install
    # exit
    $

    Then to test it:

    $ cd ../bwbasic
    $ bwbasic mlifthen.bas (runs a multi line if then test )
    $ ./lof (runs lof.bas and passes lof.INP to the program)
    $ cat lof (lists the lof script)
    $ cat .log.bas (lists the lof.bas program)
    $ cat lof.INP ( list the lof.IMP input file)

    Then to run Bwbasic interactively:

    $ bwbasic
    bwBASIC: load "selcase.bas"
    bwBASIC: list
    bwBASIC: run
    ~~~~~~
    bwBASIC: quit

    Enjoy

    Any problems let be know.
