[Ql-Users] S*BASIC
I seem to remember awhile ago Dilwyn asking about the first use of term S*BASIC was used. If it is any help, reading Vol 5 Issue 4 Nov/Dec 2000 there is an article written by DJ and GG re:Turbo Compiler I quote in the first paragraph Note: ln this article I will use the expression S*Basic to refer to both SuperBASlC (QDOS) SBASIC (SMSQ/E) Lee Privett ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] S*BASIC
I _think_ that the term was first used by Norman Dunbar to refer to either SuperBASIC or SBASIC, but don't know in what context it was used. No doubt Norman will soon pu tme in my place as usual ;-) Dilwyn Jones -Original Message- From: Lee Privett Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 7:50 PM To: ql-us...@q-v-d.com Subject: [Ql-Users] S*BASIC I seem to remember awhile ago Dilwyn asking about the first use of term S*BASIC was used.

Re: [Ql-Users] S*BASIC
Evening all, I _think_ that the term was first used by Norman Dunbar to refer to either SuperBASIC or SBASIC, but don't know in what context it was used. Did I? I was first (as far as I remember) to use the term QDOSMSQ but S*Basic wasn't one of mine - I don't think. No doubt Norman will soon pu tme in my place as usual ;-) Sorry, not this time - I can't remember!

The first sure-fire reference I can find is in a mail entitled Re: [ql-users] Upgrade path - overview distant future sent by me on 06/09/98, but then my collected ql-users mailings dont reach back further due to some long-forgotten calamity.

[Ql-Users] S*BASIC
Can anyone remember who originally coined the term S*BASIC to cover both SBASIC and SuperBASIC? I remember I first heard it during my tenure as editor of QL Today, but I can't remember who started it. (trying to compile some QL-based trivia!)
