I tried this BASIC interpreter a couple of years ago and I liked it OK. I read that if you used a certain editor you could get rid of the line numbers (hate ‘em). I recall getting that editor but I could not get it to run without line numbers. All you who are so enthusiastic about Chipmunk BASIC, have you gotten rid of line numbers, and if so, how???

Wonderful old BASIC interpreter - it's like a part of my former life and I regret this time...

A longtime friend.
Much like Applesoft BASIC, but with some cool additional features.
I was able to write a raster to HPGL converter using it. Works great.
If Chipmunk BASIC crashes upon launch, check the "Use Rosetta" box in the Get Info box.

I've been aware of Chipmonk Basic for years, but I've only just started really playing with it. As a computer geek whose programming skills began and ended with the Apple IIe, Chipmonk Basic is a wonderful (re)introduction to the art. Plus, given the range of Macs it will run on (1980's-era vintage gear through today's Intel powerhouses), anyone with a Mac can play with it. This is a great example of what makes Mac shareware so much fun! My only suggestion would be to possibly bundle in some example files with the software.
