True Basic is a very nice BASIC development system from the company of
the same name.

Besides being a nice Mac Basic, it includes libraries of interface and
graphics code that can be cross-compiled to DOS, SUN, and a few others.
And it creates true compiled applications.

I haven't used it myself for more than some quick graphing and matrix
applications, but I would recommend it over MS Basic for anyone
who needs to program in Basic.  And they do have a very cheap
student version as well.
