Envelop BASIC v1.4 (For: Windows)
|
|
Envelop BASIC is a Visual BASIC like programming language, the look and feel is very similar. Although this project has long been abandoned (a few years ago), it's still a very stable, and worthwhile download (7MB). From concensus, Envelop BASIC is considered Freeware, but is totally unsupported. You'll have a hard time finding information on Envelop BASIC, but nonetheless that shouldn't be a deterant to using it. One thing which might confuse the most of us, is the edit/run mode feature. You'll need to read the help file to know what files you need to distribute along with your application. If you ever wanted to learn Visual BASIC but were financially strapped, try Envelop BASIC.
