BScript 0.3

BScript is a (yet another) BASIC interpreter. It is free software and open-sourced, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. You can use BScript to teach BASIC to your students, write understandable shell scripts (good bye, spaghetti code!), automate simple tasks, or even write a game!
The following BASIC code will be executed by BScript without problem:
print "Hello, world!"
Main features:
- portable and fast
- no need for line number
- branching: IF/ELSE/ENDIF
- loop: FOR-NEXT/WHILE-END
- many run-time functions, from MID$ to RND
BScript only comes in source-code. In order to compile and install it on your system, unpack the source-code tarball and simply execute the following commands:
./configure
make
make install
Note: you need lex and yacc to compile BScript. However, flex and bison would be fine replacements.
BScript can be compiled on Linux, other Unices, and Microsoft Windows.
If you want to use the development version of BScript, checkout the source using anonymous CVS (when asked for password, just press Enter), so something like this:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bscript co bscript
