Lines: 23 Abasic does work under 1.2. It still works better than that piece of junk Microsoft basic. Abasic had a hokey editor, but other than that it is a superior product without question. Oh, it didn't handle sprites and Bobs. I tried converting a big program I had written in basic, the Lattice I got as a developer was nearly useless because of the mind blowing compilation speed, there was no facc, vd0: or other such things in Sept. of 85, (boy is this a run on or what), but failed to convert it from abasic to mbasic. There are things in mbasic that don't work as specified. I hate the editor also. I gave up and went back to abasic. Incidentally I haven't offered this to people on the net in a year or so so I guess it is time. It is an on line Rogues Gallarey for AD&D DM's. It works well and doesn't blow up, but I wish it did more. It is about 30k. If anyone wants it just send mail. I do have good documentation with it, but it is written in Abasic.
