The intent is not to get into it at a professional level, but\n> to be able to rip off quick and dirty small programs. Data acquisition,\n> taking the output of a program and merge and reformat it for specific\n> purposes, which of course I can do in some cases with Excel, are a couple of\n> things which come to mind. It will need the ability to interact with\n> external hardware. However, the primary purpose is as a brain stretcher for\n> someone who once thought F*RTR*N was a real language.\n> \n> I am tempted to say that I am looking for the current generation BASIC, but\n> I am want something a bit beyond that, though of course the ability to print\n> \"Hello World\" with less than 10 lines of code is a plus. ;) And it needs\n> to be something I can get into using a free or low cost compiler. I am not\n> much interested in spending a few hundred dollars.\n> \n> People have recommended Python, older versions of Delphi, early version of\n> C, etc, as what I should do. Well, maybe. So if anyone has a good\n> recommendation, please contact me OFF LIST. And did I say, it needs to be\n> cheap?! \n> \n> \n> \n> Alan\n> WA4SCA\n> \n> -----------------------------------\n> \n> What's the opposite of Diversity?\n> University!\n> \n> Catherine McMillan\n> \n> \n> \n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
