The school my kids attend has a very low computer budget, certainly
not enough for languages or much in the way of machines.  They do have
some Apple II's with BASIC, so at least some of the kids, my son
included, are having some fun.  

My former home computer did have a BASIC, but the one I have now, a
Sun3/60 doesn't.   I would love to have something close enough to the
old Apple Basic to let him create his monstrosities at home and then
type them in at school.

I pulled the BWBASIC sources and tried those, but it seems very
flakey--didn't compile cleanly.  Are there other PD type BASIC's I
should go looking for?
