Jim Hawkins Dartmouth+ BASIC Interpreter "db" V 4.0 2022

Download the BASIC executable db.exe (for Windows console) Copy the executable into a folder of your choice, preferably something like c:\bp or d:\bp There is NO formal installation sequence. It does not run dlls or put anything in the Windows registry Right click on the db.exe and send it to your desktop and/or pin it to your task bar. The icon is very ordinary as it is for a console application. For now, save all your programs in this folter. It IS possible to put them anywhere you want, but, intially this is the easiest and requires just a save <filename>. The .bas will be tacked on to load files, use old <filename> When you click to run BASIC, it will open up a tiny, hard-to-read console window. Click on the upper left icon of the window, select the Font tab and set the font size to 24 or 28. Once set, it will always open using this setting. Please read the PREFACE of the PDF manual carefully. It should help you get started. The commands or statement meaning are in the text. LINUX: This program will run very well on Linux using the "wine" command. The easiest way to set it up is to create a shell script with the text: wine db and make the script executable chmod 755. Put the script in a place where you can run it from anywhere like /usr/local/bin. Keep the actual executable anywhere, you want to keep it permanently.
