  BASIC TRAINING - A GW-BASIC Tutorial
Introduction ======================== 1.1 Basic History ------------------------ Basic was invented at Dartmouth in the 50's as a response to the problems of instructing a computer.
Basic is only one of a series of "languages" which have been developed for this purpose.
Basic also uses some defaults to describe whether a variable is a string, integer or real number.

 GW-BASIC tokenised program format.
A different byte specifies a protected program and the rest of the data is pseudo-encrypted by XORing the data with successive bytes from two chunks of BASIC constants (the two chunk lengths being relatively prime to each other).
To determine the protection flag address for your version of GW BASIC, you need to load an unprotected program into memory and then find out which address will protect the program when it is changed from a zero byte to a non-zero byte.
Almost everywhere in the BASIC interpretor, one of two routines are called to get the current or next significant character to be processed.

 GW-BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GW-BASIC (named after Greg Whitten, an early Microsoft employee and is known more affectionately as 'gee-whiz') was a dialect of BASIC developed by Microsoft, originally for Compaq.
It is compatible with Microsoft/IBM BASICA, but was disk based and did not require the resources of the ROM included on IBM's machines.
Like other early microcomputer versions of BASIC, GW-BASIC lacked many of the structures needed for structured programming such as local variables, and GW-BASIC programs executed relatively slowly, due to the fact that it was an interpreted programming language.

 History of BASIC
BASIC was born in 1964 at Dartmouth College in the USA to aid the teaching of computer programming at a time when the main methods of input/output were via punched card and/or paper tape.
By the late 70's, BASIC had been ported to platforms such as the Apple, Commodore and Atari computers and now it was time for Bill Gates's DOS which came with a Basic interpreter.
Basic was the first product sold by Microsoft corporation, and also the first major case of software piracy - It was copied widely even before Microsoft made it available (Bill Gates lost track of a copy on paper tape during a computer show).

 Microsoft BASIC version information
The BASIC programming language was developed at Dartmouth College in the mid-1960's by professors John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz, as a vehicle to be used to teach programming.
It serves as both a BASIC interpreter and as MS-DOS's editor for its Edit command in versions 5.0 to 6.22.
Microsoft's BASIC compilers, before the diversion of QB (meant to address the horror of Borland's wildly successful Turbo Pascal), were up to version 5.35 or so (also sold as IBM BASCOM in versions 1.0 and 2.0 before IBM dropped the line).

The BBC Basic interpreter message 'Unknown or missing variable' means that you have not initialised a variable before the point at which its value is required to be known.
In the case of some errors, the resulting actual BBC Basic line length may not agree with the line length given in the file and BBC Basic editors will not accept it, giving out the message: 'Bad Basic program'.
Also other graphics commands suffer from the fact that BBC Basic graphic co-ordinates are measured from the lower left hand corner of the screen, whereas GW-BASIC graphics are measured from the upper left hand corner.
