Which BASIC dialect is the BaCon BASIC converter based on?

[chromaburster]

Hello there!

I've searched through the BaCon documentation but I've yet to find a simple answer to this question... The BASIC dialect used by this convertor most closely resembles which BASIC version?

Hope someone can help!

Hi chromaburster,

BaCon started as a nostalgia project and was inspired by the good old VIC-20 BASIC. It also contains ideas of ScriptBasic.

As a long-time user of GW-Basic, I, too, found this VERY helpful. And it took me a long time of reading "forum" notes to discover!
