- Dave Moorman was next, saying that
- he appreciated the many hardware and
- operating system improvements being
- demoed. His own favorite area of
- development is to see what a "plain
- brown" C-64 can do all by itself. Over
- the last five years, Dave has used
- Visual Basic for Windows cross-
- platform development, and he wondered
- if such an enviroment could be created
- on the C-64.
-
- In no time flat, he created a screen
- with two regions, saved the file, then
- loaded a boot-maker program. In
- seconds, the screen was working with
- roll-over color changes on each
- region.

- The system is called DOTBASIC
- because Dave named the 48 Mr.Mouse
- commands and 29 more of his own with
- ./char/char mnemonics -- such as .DO
- (for a DO LOOP) and .PC (for PRINT
- CENTER).
-
- See DOTBASIC on this issue for more
- information.
