Hi All,

I am working on the PcW16 Basic compiler originally created by Rob Buckley 
and very kindly released by him to the community. It was written originally 
in VB5.

Looking for people who would like to get involved importing the project into 
Mono on Linux do develop a cross compatiable application that will allow 
people to write applications for the 16 using Basic and have them compiled 
into a Disc that will run on Anne giving them access to the GUI etc.

The goal is to create a learning environment for youngsters to get their 
heads around programming but also to see what they can achieve on something 
that has so little power compared to todays products.

John Elliott's Anne emulator is rocking and rolling and will enable people 
to run the applications they make.

Anyways I get this is probably not the most exciting thing for most, and is 
mainly my own geeky fascination but would love it if some others felt 
compelled to join in! :)



It's a brave project and I wish you luck with it.

Having never even mastered BASIC, I ain't a person who can help you with it, 
though. Sorry!
