Title: MINI-BASIC ported from MASM to NASM?
Post by: dunric76 on March 06, 2009, 12:48:58 AM

"MINI-BASIC is a Window Console Basic interpreter using Windows API to manage display, keyboard and files. MBI.ZIP includes executable MINI-BASIC, complete SOURCE listing in MASM assembler, MINI-BASIC user's guide and PITMAN, a special Basic game for MINI-BASIC.

Although Mini-Basic works fine, it may be considered as a toy to play with for newbies and experienced Assembly programmers, a piece of code available for modifications, enhancements, experiences and programming pleasure.
Some problems are not totally solved (console window resizing for example).

Please, report bugs, enhancements, new commands, optimizations you add in MINI-BASIC.

New versions will be added to this page to keep MINI-BASIC alive.

MINI-BASIC was written with MASM32 tools available for free at http://www.masm32.com" (http://www.masm32.com")

So is this possible? The main Yahoo Groups page for MINI-BASIC is located here:

Hi Paul,

Is what possible? "Porting" Mini-Basic to Nasm? I don't see why not. What would be the advantage of doing so? It ain't gonna run on any other OS...

Seems to me, if one were going to write some program in an interpreted language, one would choose a widely-available one, no?

(O.T.: How's the Army treatin' ya, Paul?)

Best,
Frank
