You like pascal but refuse to work in C?

There is Bywater Basic 1.10, recently released and available on 
simtel20.army.mil. This compiles using MSC 6.00A for OS/2. I only briefly
examined, and the language features are interesting, but not OS/2 specific
and it is not very fast.  You did not indicate what type of programming.
If your BASIC needs are very basic, then this might work. If you examine
the docs on simtel, and decide that it will suit your purpose, I can send
you my version which is compiled for OS/2. Note carefully: this BASIC is 
designed to run on a variety of platforms. It is not fancy and does not
include any special OS/2 features.  

I only examined out of curiosity at this old language. I use C and refuse
to program in BASIC or PASCAL :)
