  B32 Business Basic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
B32 Business Basic was a competitor to Data General Business Basic written by Murray Haszard in 1986.
B32 Software was the company that developed and supported B32 Business Basic, with the original site in Auckland, New Zealand supplemented by a sales and support centre in Blue Ash, Ohio.
B32 was over twice as fast for number crunching, string manipulation, and disk I/O. Many of the internal restrictions of DGBB were removed.

 Data General Business Basic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Data General Business Basic was a BASIC interpreter (based on MAI Basic Four's version) developed by Data General for their Nova minicomputer in the 1970s, and later ported to the Data General Eclipse MV and AViiON computers.
Small business programs could be developed and debugged rapidly with Business Basic because of the interactive nature of the interpreter, but the language did not provide many structured programming features, and as programs grew larger, maintenance became a problem.
B32 Business Basic was a highly compatible interpreter which ran on the Eclipse MV line.

 BASIC programming language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The original BASIC language was invented in 1964 by John Kemeny (1926–93) and Thomas Kurtz (1928–) at Dartmouth College and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
BASIC was intended to address the complexity issues of older languages with a new language designed specifically for the new class of users the time-sharing systems allowed — that is, a "simpler" user who was not as interested in speed as in simply being able to use the machine.
BASIC also had the advantage that it was fairly well known to the young designers who took an interest in microcomputers at the time as a result of Kemeny and Kurtz's earlier proselyting.

Business Basic is an interactive high-level programming language developed for minicomputer systems in the early 1970s.
Derived from the original Dartmouth BASIC, Business Basic extended the language concepts by introducing file indexing methods which evolved into true keyed access technology similar to those methods available to COBOL programmers.
Originally very similar to the MAI language, DG Business Basic and its competitors' derivatives have evolved into a very different style of Business Basic.

 Murray Haszard - Wikpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In 1983 he was contracted to convert a corrugator scheduling package from Data General Business Basic to Fortran 77 on a Data General MV computer.
He was struck by the contrast between Fortran's fast number-crunching but slow disk access, difficult debugging and inability to share files without using system calls, and Business Basic's slow arithmetic and limited memory space, but easy debugging and neat handling of file sharing.
Haszard expanded his company with an extra support programmer, but B32 continued to grow and was ported to the Unix operating system.

BASIC's name, coined in classic, computer science tradition to produce a nice acronym, stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code,¹ tied to the name of an unpublished paper by the language's co-inventor, Thomas Kurtz (the name thus having no relation to C.K. Ogden's series "Basic English").
