I've successfully compiled Amiga Basic using ACE, but it will only run on an Amiga of course, or in my case, the WinUAE emulation.

If you have the text of your basic script, can you not re-write it in a Windows basic interpreter? There must be some of those out there that look similar to the old Amiga Basic.

I just downloaded it for Windows. Will give it a whirl. The pro version is $500.

No one has mentioned that AmigaBasic is compilable

It appears that most Amigans are not aware that
ACE is an upgraded version of AmigaBasic.
And again, all these other basics mentioned are not
nearly as well documented on the Amiga.
So it seems to me that the logical choice for the
novices and intermediate  programmers is AmigaBasic.

Actually, I did mention ACE (Third post from the top). I've used to compile Amiga Basic.

Is C really so hard, that you want to stick with BASIC?


? - Never thought about it that way. I don't have a problem with C. I use what I feel like. I'm not programming anything for work or fun these days anyway.
