I'm hoping
to get the vs3100 up here. I wish DEC had put BasicPlus
or whatever the Basic from VMS was for hobbiest use so we could really
show that Basic code can be done quite nicely on the Vax (and PDP's).
C and Pascal are ok -- but the Visual Basic folks need to see a real
nice basic in action.
You do have VAX Basic on the VAX Hobbyist CD. However, the space that
should have gone to it on the Alpha CD is taken up with Java and Netscape
(which you can download, grrrr.) I was really hoping to get the latest and
greatest version of Alpha BASIC. Still, except for that, the CD's have the
main stuff I'm interested in.
