+ <longdescription>
+ Bas is an interpreter for the classic dialect of the programming
+ language BASIC. It is pretty compatible to typical BASIC interpreters of
+ the 1980s, unlike some other UNIX BASIC interpreters, that implement a
+ different syntax, breaking compatibility to existing programs. Bas
+ offers many ANSI BASIC statements for structured programming, such as
+ procedures, local variables and various loop types. Further there are
+ matrix operations, automatic LIST indentation and many statements and
+ functions found in specific classic dialects. Line numbers are not
+ required. Bas is written in ANSI C for UNIX systems.
