Hello and welcome to BASCC.C the worlds first portable ANSI C program that
you can compile on any ANSI C platform (some portable libraries required)
and use it to convert QuickBASIC, PowerBasic for dos and STANDARD Basic
(Without Line Numbers) to C code that will also compile on any ANSI C
platform.  Now use the ease of BASIC programming to write fast efficient
C code in a lot less time than coding directly in c++.  This curses enabled
converter allows for BASIC screen formating and positioning coverting the
code to curses enabled C++ code. While this program is meant to be a tool
in porting code there are some programs you may find where it will convert
and compile 100% without any work on your part.

To use this converter program you must have the following.

An ANSI C compiler, GNU works fine unix/DJGPP.
A curses library of some sort such as CURSES/NCURSES or "PDCURSES 2.4" for DJGPP
(PDCURSES 2.3 might work but PDCURSES2.2 Does not work).
Some knowledge of C/C++ programming.  This program may not do 100% of the work
for you.

Completed STATEMENTS and FUNCTIONS that are known to work.

OPEN "MYFILE.TXT" FOR INPUT AS #1
OPEN "MYFILE.TXT" FOR OUTPUT AS #1
CLOSE #1
DO
LOOP
DO UNTIL ((1=0 AND 0=1) OR 0=1 AND 1=0 OR NOT bill)
EXIT DO
PRINT "Hello World."
PRINT "Hello ";
PRINT "World."
PRINT Bob  // the print statement will print any variable string or other.
DIM bob AS INTEGER, mike AS STRING, fred AS SINGLE, tom AS DOUBLE
//multiple variables dimentioned on the same line ok.
LINE INPUT #1, mike
INPUT tom
LOCATE 12,3
CLS
fred=1.234567
