- Chipmunk Basic is a freeware old-fashioned Basic Interpreter, accelerated for
- the PowerMac, yet still compatible with old 68k Macs running System 6. It
- includes a simple sprite graphics engine.
-
- Every personal computer should come with a simple, easy to learn, programming
- language. Chipmunk Basic was my contribution for the very first PowerMacs.
- Version 3.2.1 is a both bug fix and new feature release. It is still free for
- educational and non-commercial distribution and use (but only for those who
- don't believe that using the BASIC language causes brain damage :-). Permission
- is granted to include this version of Chipmunk Basic on CD-ROM compendiums of
- Macintosh archives. Please replace older versions of Chipmunk Basic in the
- archives with this version.
-
- Version 3.2.0 fixes several bugs in the input statement and input$ function and
- problems with serial port I/O. Added to the language are limited versions of
- the SELECT CASE statement, the PRINT USING statement and 16-bit integer arrays.
- Version 3.2 is almost completely AppleScriptable and supports Drag & Drop.
- Version 3.2.1 fixes a problem with the Draglib link and SIZE resource.
-
- Chipmunk Basic only come with a man page and a quick reference to Mac specific
- functions. The language is mostly compatible with books on programming in BASIC
- that were written between 1978 and 1988.
