Decimal BASIC for Linux (Intel)

We provide with an ISO Full BASIC language system that works on Gnu/Linux (x86).
This program implements almost all of the core module and the graphics module of ISO Full BASIC.
It has not been conformed with the standard, whereas there are very few differences.
All graphics commands prescribed in ANSI Full BASIC are implemented with slight incompatibility on behavior.
Most part of the modules module and the individual character input module for Full BASIC are implemented, too.

sudo chmod 775 basic
and then
./basic
