blassic (BASIC interpreter) Blassic is a classic Basic interpreter. The line numbers are mandatory, and it has PEEK & POKE. The main goal is to execute programs written in old interpreters, even those that use peculiar control flow constructs or automodifiable code. However, it can be used as a scripting language, and has some not-so-classic instructions. It has graphics modes that are compatible with some classic systems and user defined. Blassic ships with many example programs, which are installed in /usr/share/blassic/examples/ There is no documentation on the Blassic language included in the package. Full docs can be found on http://blassic.net/ Blassic development seems to have stopped in January of 2010. This build is for the last stable release, 0.10.3. However, there was a 'preliminary' 0.11 release, with some new features but also with known issues.

Should be ee81716bc75bd5d3405cb6dc8ef34615. - Run the script with VERSION=0.11.0.20100121 in the environment.
