Details

The SHUI-BASIC script implements a BASIC interpreter that can be used from the local chat
window. It tries to implement the BASIC dialect used in the East German KC85 series and
the KC85/4 in particular (KC = Kleincomputer, home computer, literally: small computer).
This dialect orients itself on Microsoft's BASIC and is similar to GW-BASIC as well.
Functions which require positioning on screen or coloring as well as graphics functions
are not implemented, also not hardware-oriented functionality.

Some functionality (e.g. arrays) are not implemented yet, but will be in subsequent
versions. These new versions may be more expensive, but if you bought a previous version,
you can always update for free.

The input channel can be configured, also the access for Owner only, for Group or All. If
it is set to Owner only, output is for owner only as well, otherwise in local chat (20m).
Programs can be entered manually or loaded from notecards - a few examples are included.
Commands can be entered in direct mode, too. After script reset, it starts in a minimal
version of CAOS (Cassette Aided Operating System) also used in the KC85 series. BASIC can
be started by entering "BASIC" in local chat, other commands as well as all BASIC commands
and functions are described in detail in the included manual. However, it does not provide
a complete tutorial - basic knowledge of the BASIC programming language is expected.

You can use the script for several purposes such as simple calculator in chat, to execute
simple programs if you are not familiar with LSL, to interact with other objects inworld
(on different communication channels) or just for teh geek factor :-)

Example:
INPUT "Enter °C:"; C
LET F=C*1.8+32
PRINT C; "°C ="; F; "°F"

The SHUI-BASIC script is copy only. It's licensed under the BSD license with the addition
that it must not be resold or otherwise given away standalone in parts or as whole. It
can be used as long as these license conditions are met.
