Can you enlighten me as to what 'Techncial
BASIC' and 'Rocky Mountain
BASIC' really are?
Rocky Mountain BASIC is what evolved from the 9830, 9835, 9845, etc. It
ran on the 9000/200 and 9000/300 non-HP-UX systems. On the 9000 HP-UX
systems it was called "BASIC/UX". Some versions that ran on the PC or
inside instruments were called "Instrument BASIC".
Technical BASIC is what evolved from the 83/85/9905, 86/87, 75, etc. It
was first called Technical BASIC on the 9807A Integral, but later was
available for HP-UX on other 9000 systems.
There were enough differences between the two that many customers
complained about the lack of Rocky Mountain BASIC for the Integral.
