QB2C package makes possible execution of BASIC programs

QB2C package makes possible execution of BASIC programs under UNIX provided that a C compiler is available on the system. It allows for mixing of BASIC and C code in a single file/program as well as use of X11 based graphics. The graphics in QB2C is extended to handle up to 16 X11 graphic windows at a time. QB2C is built around the QuickBASIC-to-C translator (qb2c) which translates BASIC code into C code. Scripts 'brun' (to run directly BASIC programs) and 'bcc' to compile BASIC program and produce an executable) are also provide. BASIC syntax is similar to Microsoft's QuickBASIC one.
