G'day mates,

Just wondering if anyone knows of a free (or reasonably priced) BASIC 
version which has built-in matrix functions.  The old Rocky Mountain 
BASIC [from Hewlett-Packard] had this ability, and the modern 
compatible BASIC from TransEra (HTBasic) also seems to:

<http://htbasic.com/htbwindows.html#Description>

<quoting marketing blurb from above link>
TransEra HTBasic, compatible with Hewlett-Packard's 9000 Series 
200/300 Rocky Mountain BASIC, runs on PCs in DOS or Windows. 
HTBasic is a powerful scientific /engineering language that 
combines the ease-of-use of BASIC, the math capabilities of 
FORTRAN and the structured-programming of Pascal and C. When 
combined with IEEE-488 or data acquisition plug-in cards, HTBasic 
turns your PC into a full-featured instrument controller.

Unfortunately, TransEra's pricing is somewhat, umm... commercial:

So I'm just wondering if anyone here knows of something similar at a 
more acceptable price for those of us motivated more by curiosity 
than livelihood in this case?  [I'm not really interested in the 
instrument control features of HTBasic, just the math.]

TIA and please note Followups are set to c.l.b.m

Cheers, Phred.
