Bug#848568: My Apr 24 E-mail

2020-05-04 Thread Kenneth Martin
Not hearing back can I assume there is no interest in getting an updated
fixed version of bwbasic?  Actually now it is bwbasic-3.20b. I spoke with
Vince about this and he felt I could take on a maintainers role.

Can someone get back to me

Thank you.


Bug#848568: Bwbasic-3.2a

2020-04-24 Thread Kenneth Martin
I am running an updated version of bwbasic from version 2.2 to 3.2a all
patches applied plus code to make it run correctly under Debian 9.x and
10.x plus other flavors of Linux (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Zorin OS, Linux Lite,
etc.) and DOS.

Version 3.2 as delivered does not compile under Linux. That is why my
version is 3.2a. I have been working on this since 11-2019 with the latest
working on a BeagleBone Black running Debian 10.3.

I have also included all the current documentation where available in the
INFO folder and included several new bwbasic example files in the
BAS-EXAMPLES folder. For setup and running simply see the READMEFIRST file.

I was asked by Robert Nelson if I would be interested in becoming a
maintainer. What does that entail? I have been working with computers since
1974.

I have the code assembled into a tar file. You would simply un-tar the file
then
go to its folder and do a make followed by sudo make install and if you
don't like it do a sudo make remove or to start fresh do make clean

Please get back to me. Thanks.
