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.

After having converted from WIN to LINUX there was one thing I missed: A good Basic-programming tool. I allways used Basic (QB, QBASIC) when still using Dos/Win. Per accident I found qb2c (rather unknown). I tried it and was amazed about the orthodox way the QB syntax is implemented. After having installed it along with a GCC and the essential Motif libraries I could start writing programms within minutes. Now I use qb2c to solve soil related spatial analysis problems (as i used to do under Dos/win). I can highly recomend qb2c as a "methadone" for DOS/QB- junkies. Pleasant is the spartanic GUI-Element function block, it forces you to work rather on your problem than waste to much time on superfluid GUI-feature design. Just try qb2c, neat stuff! Guen
