QB2C a BASIC to C translator Date: Sep 21 1998 Thank you for obtaining this version of QB2C. You can find the latest FREE/EVALUATION version of QB2C on this place: http://random.com.hr/Download.html See the file ANNOUNCEMENT for information on the commercial version of this package. QB2C translates BASIC programs into ANSI-C programs. Includes X11-based graphics. It has been tested under Linux, OSF1 (DEC), Sun-OS (Solaris), Aix (IBM), SGI (Silicon Graphics) and HP-UX (hp). Under HP-UX screen dependent things like 'INKEY$' would not work (termios.h), for other the full functionality is obtained. The whole package is in the file qb2c.tgz. To install it, place the file in an empty directory and type: tar zxvf qb2c.tgz (if this doesn't work try in two steps: gunzip qb2c.tgz; tar xvf qb2c.tar). To build executables "qb2c", "bcpp", "calib", "bhelp" and scripts "bcc", "brun" and "run" under given OS just type the name of the corresponding script: Operating System | script to build executables -----------------+----------------------------- Linux | doall DEC-OSF | doall_osf Sun-OS | doall_sun IBM-Aix | doall_aix Silicon Graphics | doall_sgi HP-UX | doall_hp Executables and scripts should be put somewhere where you keep your executables, for instance in ~/bin or /usr/local/bin, or the directory where you compiled the QB2C should be put in the search path. Details of operation of the package can be found in the document manual.txt, which can be wieved typing the command "bhelp". A keyword can be specified as a parameter to this command in order to get specific help: "bhelp keyword".
