Qbasic was very underrated...

cool will it run all c64 basic programs with peek and pokes ? :)

will it do all commodore 128d basic programs with mmu and 1024k free mem ?

i will call it a upgrade that microsoft did not provide :)

story continues with comal

google unicomal and ibm

Hallo Benny!

will it run all c64 basic programs with peek and pokes ?

Send some example code and I'll give it a try. All I know for sure is that hello.bas compiles without any grief and is a pure 64-bit executable on the x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu host where gcc-8.2.0 bootstrapped it. I haven't run across any documentation that discusses compatibilty yet ... other than the
qbasic quote Little Mikey posted in this echo.

will it do all commodore 128d basic programs with mmu and 1024k
free mem ?

I don't know. My best guess is that it doesn't matter. I didn't see commodore
portabilty listed anywhere. I did notice that freebasic can be ported to win32, win64 and dos, as well as to linux and bsd. I managed to get it working
as a pure 64-bit linux without too much grief. How about you?

google unicomal and ibm

See http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/opencomal as well as the pure linux port at https://github.com/poldy/OpenCOMAL.

my consern is more or less does it allow to write new bios ? :)

so far so good, i think its possible not all basic commands that are implemented in freebasic ?

if so how to expand it ?

i remember only qbasic from my old time when i got a wife :)

I don't know. My best guess is that it doesn't matter.

so basic 7.0 with 1GB of mem is possible ? :)

the real thing is 16bit address bus with mean 1024K ram on commodore 128 is possible, i have a 512k ram expander

so i see the fame 640k haha

I didn't see
commodore portabilty listed anywhere.

so its undokumented and not working :*&

good thats atleast a start

not tryed yet :)

google unicomal and ibm

See http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/opencomal as well as the pure linux port at https://github.com/poldy/OpenCOMAL.

this is what i like to build with one more vps in linode.com

Hallo Benny!

my consern is more or less does it allow to write new bios ? :)

I haven't checked. So far all I have done with it is to bootstrap in a pure 64-bit enviroment and get it to compile the supplied ./examples/hello.bas. None of that required any jiggery-pokery with the bios.

i think its possible not all basic commands that are implemented
in freebasic ?

I believe the opposite might be true; that more basic commands are implemented than the garden variety basics, given the different the claim, "You don't need to learn much new if you are familiar with any Microsoft-BASIC variant.", posted on the home site https://www.freebasic.net/ as well as the -lang switch which is worthy of investigation if you are concerned about compatitility.

i remember only qbasic from my old time when i got a wife :)

I never used it even when I had a wife. I used gwbasic way back when but only a couple times to suit a onetime solution. However gwbasic is an interpreter and not a compiler but I am guessing the syntax is somewhat similar. That was 30-ish years ago so I can't be sure but I am sure that it wasn't running on a commodore.
