... or you could email the writers of BBx, here on the net.  I'm the
VP of Engineering, and the whole company is emailable (including tech
support).

Business BASIC is a variant of BASIC that actually preceeds the
microcomputer BASICs, and hasn't borrowed much from then.  This allows
software to be written in a manner that is compatible across hardware
platforms and operating systems, an advantage enjoyed by our 6,000
developers and 400,000 installations worldwide.

[and that's about as close as I'll get to an advertisment, I hope it
doesn't offend anyone.  For further info call or email.]
