As far as I know, BASIC is not a compiled language, but rather an interpreted one. So I guess that it is an interpreter you are looking for. In this page you'll find some BASIC interpreters: http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/interpreters/ However, I wouldn't recommend using BASIC. Why did you choose this language? Someone told you to do so? Maybe python will be better for your needs. ----cj's reply---- dude, BASIC was my first (and currently only) language that i learned and am proficient in. First off, basic is easier for me to learn and second off, its basic. ----end of reply---- -- Alexandre Franke GNU/Linux user #390077 -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </debian_i386@yahoo.com></blockquote> <hr size=1>Relax.
