AmigaBasic

The problem is it doesn't seem to run on my A3000.

LOL!
people say that program was crap - because it was CRAP!

throw that book away and find another basic
like blitz basic

or even better, grow up, be a man and use C, C++, or assembler!
or just about anything else for that matter!

im sorry, but you just cant run amiga basic on the A3000, unless your using UAE!
speaking of emulation, try an ibm-pc emulator & run QBASIC, there almost the same
 :-)

dont listen to people who tell you to get AMOS!

it doesnt support multitasking very well
no intuition screens
no RTG
no intuition windows
very limited

blitz basic is much better! you can make your programs look about as proffesional as C programs

most of the book you have should be ok for any kind of basic
