Hello:

My father recently purchased a Mac 512E, and he also happens
to be involved with a sailing club.  It seem that there are
a variety of scoring programs avialable in BASIC in the
following catagories:

   1. Applesoft Basic for the Apple ][
   2. Microsoft Basic for the IBM-PC
   3. Microsoft Basic for the TRS-80

He has several questions:

   1. Is there Applesoft Basic for the Mac, if so, how
      compatible is it?
   2. How compatible are the various flavors of Microsoft
      Basic?
   3. Are there any other BASIC's out there that can handle
      [Micro,Apple]soft programs?
   4. Does anyone in netland have a sailing scoring program
      for the Mac?

Thank you,
