Hey there all you forum type people, new guy here. Ive been a programmer for many years now, fairly fluent in c, c++, java, perl, xml. Always wanted to make a Unix or Linux box of my own, but being one of those poor starving students I could never put the scraps together for even the spare parts i would need.
So I chanced upon your site one hapless night of surfing the information superhighway, and i find it suits my needs flawlessly for learning Unix based programming and applications thereof. So I would just like to say, good to be here.

It's not really. Basic uses double-quotes for literal strings. =)

Alright, so I don't know a ton of BASIC (pssh, like that's a bad thing? Razz

), but I saw the numbered lines and the GOTO statement and mistook it for BASIC. What language is it?

I guess it should be Basic. =D

How about TOOBASIC? =P

Basic--. =)

Oh yeah, Basic doesn't have "--", so we call it Basic -= 1. Ah, Basic doesn't even have "-=", so let's call it Basic = Basic - 1. Oh my... I'd rather call it END.
