Hello, Does anyone know where I could find the BASIC language standard? I know there's a ton of BASIC languages out there, so anything from TinyBasic to QBasic is fine, just as long as it is fairly complete. I'm writing an interpreter for a BASIC language, but I think it'd be much easier to mimic another language rather than create everything from scratch(especially since this is my first interpreter), at least for now. Thanks for any links or help. Mike

There are two ISO standards for basic: ISO/IEC 10279:1991 for "Full Basic" and ISO/IEC 6373:1984 for "Minimal Basic". Copies of both should be available for purchase from your national standards body (ex: ANSI for the US).

Currently my implementation mimicks that of DarkBasic Pro. There's nothing special about it really, just need a guide to make sure I don't forget any convinences that someone would expect from Basic.
