Easily confused with the rather older TrueBASIC.

I'm afraid that my memories of BASIC start off with bearded postgrads 
hunched over KSR-33s at university.

I'd be very reluctant to call something based on BASIC, COBOL or FORTRAN 
a viable alternative to Pascal. Don't judge a language by what's been 
grafted onto it, but by what's had to be chopped out to make it conform 
to current good practice.
