Apple has not yet released its version of the new ANSI standard BASIC,
but Dartmouth College has been using a pre-release version for several
months.  A completed and debugged version should prove to be outstanding.
Current features include:
 
     a MacPascal-like user interface
 
     concurrent program execution
 
     a full set of programming structures
 
among others!

Expect Apple's MacBasic sometime later this year.  True BASIC, Kemeny
and Kurtz's version of the ANSI standard should also be out by then,
and a comparison will be interesting (the MS-DOS version was reviewed
in a recent BYTE and the prerelease is being used here already, with
difficulty.)
