Preamble:
My essential definition of "free" is as in "free speech".
The GNU definition of "free" as in "free speech" would also be nice.

Essential requirements:
A. a "sequential" as opposed to "event driven" model
I grew up under FORTRAN 7? and Dartmouth/Lawrence Livermore BASIC.
I think sequentially. VB's event driven ???? drives me up wall
B. My possible application is inherently "batch" mode.
Input data set of 4000 to 40000+ data points
Output data set from 5000-????? data points
C. *MUST* be intrinsically 32 bit

In searching the WEB I come upon XBASIC.
Is it alive and well ;?

http://www.maxreason.com/software/xbasic/xbasic05.gif
implies availability of graph plotting function.
Sample code snippet is for plotting an analytical function.

Is there provision for plotting experimental data sets?

Is there any approximation to 3D plotting?

I get the impression that XBASIC is "sequential" as opposed to
VisualBasic which is explicitly event driven?
My possible application is intrinsically "batch processing".

I'm interested in DSP "type" applications.
There are specialized languages/processors available.
*BUT* I'm interested in some prototyping work for which a variant of
BASIC would be inherently suitable.

Thank you for any comments and pointers.

I don't know squat about programming, but if I did I'd look at
http://sourceforge.net/ for free stuff.

Sorry but I do.
If you can identify the relevance to computers of
6J6
12AX7
5U5 ( G or GT )
CK722

I might be more polite

Thank you for useful links.
I'm also looking for feed back from users of "free" BASIC's

Which should I actively pursue?

Thank you.

sorry that should have been *5U4*
Bet he didn't cath it ;]

I truly don't give **** if you're polite or not and if I was the least bit interested in programming, I would have
learned it by now. I gave you a link which may have been helpful to you, but you seemed to have blown it off.
I have one thing left for you to blow off. Let me know when you're ready.

You probably don't have it anyway.

Mike was right, you are an asshat.

Bye bye ...

My 2 cents-

Not what you're looking for, it's about cluster computing. But there are
some archives; and the folks that participate may well have the info you
pursue.

You might get better luck asking in a programming group.

>Which should I actively pursue?

I have no idea.

You're welcome.
