The only thing better than Basic-Plus is VAX Basic. Woo hoo!!
Since there's no VAX Basic compiler for Linux, look at Python.
It has a familiar (that's familiar, not exact) syntax, and can
be used for procedural programming and OO programming.
Here are the basic packages you'd need to install:
# apt-get install python2.3 python2.3-doc python2.3-bsddb3 \
python2.3-examples python2.3-fixedpoint python2.3-gdbm
A good tutorial and other docs will be installed :
/usr/share/doc/python2.3/html/index.html
