Bywater BASIC Interpreter News

After a long hiatus (2017-2024), a new release of bwBASIC is available, mainly just bug fixes from the last 7 years. But there are new makefiles for new environments too. A prebuilt Win32 x86 executable is provided too, same as last release.

In a sign of how portable C, and BWBASIC, is, it has now been ported to yet another environment - this time CMS (another mainframe operating system). It also includes some bug fixes.

This version was released in March 2008 as part of another (GCCMVS, MVS/380) project (with author's permission) but has now been moved to its normal home, in preparation for it being ported to yet another environment (VM/CMS).

I'm back working on a version 3.x of bwBASIC. This will be a simplification of earlier code for the project.

After a number of years on my own, I hav moved the Bywater BASIC interpreter (bwBASIC) to SourceForge. Hopefully, this will allow developers more consistent access to bwBASIC source code. The project has not been substantially developed since the mid-1990s.
