Microsoft provides a Basic interpreter for the Mac. They're up to version 3.0 of the compiler, which is HFS compatable. And since I've been so nice to allow them to $25 dollar me to death for updates on the interpreter, they sent me a "limited-time" notice: for those who have interpreters, now they can get about half off (the notice is not in front of me) on Microsoft's new Basic compiler. I don't know if the new Microsoft Basic compiler does what you need, but I'd be willing to give Microsoft a call. Of course, I won't be getting it. I use basic for quick and dirty solutions, and C for application development. But others out there may actually Like basic. *shudder* - William Woody Mac! > ][n && /|\ woody@tybalt.caltech.edu woody@juliet.caltech.edu
