dear BASIC enthusiasts,

I announce dib (dib Is Basic), an emulator of the Dartmouth BASIC
version III (1966) with some extra features, now at version 1.0 final.
Hope you will like it.

It must be compiled, with 'make' in the source directory and with gcc
4.x or later.

I tested it only on my emac with Mac OS X Tiger, but Tom Lake has
succeded in compiling version 1.0.gamma on Linux and on Windows too, and
I believe this won't change for version 1.0 final.

Send me your advice and report all the problems you face. I'll try to
resolve them, maybe with your help.

Likewise, send me all the source BASIC programs you can conceive that
dib (and so the Dartmouth BASIC version III) can run: I'll include them
in next uploads. Specify your name and mail address, and title them with
6-upper-chars names (as in the Original Dartmouth OS).

You can find dib here: http://digilander.libero.it/tonibinhome/deer/
You can write to tbin at libero dot it for any help (strip away NOSPAM
from the mail address you see attached here).

-- Antonio
