I think I will continue on with the development of this project in my spare time.

the first step will be to handle IF-THEN-ELSE-ENDIF for several lines

the program has the necessary structure to include in future versions handling integer variables, although not one of my priorities.

A major challenge is that the code is not interpreted line by line directly, but rather generate an intermediate code (microcode) as does java, so to have 2 programs one parcer and another to run the semi-compiled code.

Hi churichuro,

Thank you you answer and of course for code.
I have no knowledge of C or even LINUX .
So far I could understand from your UBASIC Project, it is a BASIC to C converter.
I feel that it is a very challenging project, and it involves surely at lot of Knowledge and huge effort from yourself, and also have the fealing that it would be very difficult to get it run for everybody. I think there will be always problems, then it depends very much on how the people are writting there BASIC Programs.

I am wondering if it would not be much more easyier to write a BASIC Interpreter that would run as a Program in the HP.
Somehow your doing, more or less, something like a BASIC Interpreter.

It would be very nice and very usefull if there was a BASIC Interpreter for the HP, at least for, so that the User could write on-the-fly , a BASIC Program.

It would be interesting to know the opinion and of the need of a sBASIC (=short) for the HP Calculators from other HP users.

Once again, thank you.
Regards.

There are several lightweight open-source BASIC interpreters around that could potentially be compiled under HPGCC.
