Everybody may be interested to know that one of the Berkeley machines is
running a *REAL* BASIC.  The UNIX is run by the business school and is
otherwise known as the "C F & O 'B' Machine", to which you can mail to as
b:username.  Somebody else here at Berkeley is bound to submit more info
here.  The 'B' machine uses DEC BASIC-PLUS, which is similar to Microsoft.
If you get any complaints about running DEC BASIC-PLUS on a VAX-11/780,
tell them that I WORK on a system with DEC BASIC-PLUS (even though RIX
is using VAX/VMS).  Avior.
