Looking for recommendations for what kind of basic (yes, basic) to run
on a 4.3bsd unix system (sperry 7040 (tahoe) to be exact). I have a
version of UBC basic that has severe garbage collection problems among
other things. Had Phil's Basic running under 4.2 for a while. Any other
ideas?

And if I don't come up with a decent working basic, are there any basic->C
comverters archived anywhere on the net, or for retail? I have a few folks
here who don't want to learn a real programming language. :-(

Email please... I will post a summary after a while.

BASMARK (216)-621-7650 has a compiled BASIC that runs on a variety of
UNIX environments.  I believe the contact is Gary Goins.

In creating a distribution diskette that will run under
Microport's installit(1) program, I've been wondering
what the devices /dev/dsk/0s24 and 0s25 correspond to.
It appears as if, usually, only a file or two are put on
the 0s24 partition, and the rest of the files in the
distribution are put on the 0s25 partition.  What are
the actual sizes of these partitions on a 1.2M floppy?
