Bas7 Alternatives

Bas7

Bas7 is a BASIC interpreter which is compatible to GW-BASIC and other old BASIC dialects. Bas7 is designed to interpret programs from the line number era of BASIC. Structured 'IF', 'DO' and 'SELECT' statements and programs without line numbers are also supported. Unlike many other BASIC interpreters it does not try to introduce incompatible features. Bas7 concentrates on backward compatibility instead. Bas7 can be used to analyze spaghetti code. The option -l causes the generation of a log file. Since spaghetti code is very common in old BASIC programs, logging can be very useful. As porting tool Bas7 hopefully helps to port historic programs to modern programming languages like Seed7. Bas7 can be called from the command line.
