Click here for a Crash Course in Yabasic

The above “Crash Course in Yabasic” is closely based on the excellent “Description of Yabasic” document, in particular the extremely well crafted “Yabasic Explained by Examples” section, written by Marc-Oliver Ihm – the creator of Yabasic – which is still available at the following link: http://www.yabasic.de/old_docu.html and which contains a great deal more information than was able to be included in this “Crash Course”. For a full and up to date language reference for the latest version of Yabasic, however, do refer to the documentation which comes with Yabasic itself, i.e. the Yabasic.htm file in the Yabasic folder which is created by the installer and which can be accessed by clicking on the “docu” icon on your desktop.

Click here to download G77 compiler (Fort99.zip the 1999 version)

Here is the link to the webpage where Fort99.zip came from (click on Downloads)

You unzip the file Fort99.zip to your C drive, making sure the "Use Folder Names" option is checked. Copy the file "G77setup.bat" to the folder where you are writing your code, and execute it every time you open the command prompt, as Vista/XP do not retain info about the path between command prompt sessions. Here are some useful batch files which you can also click on and download:

G.bat - need to unzip the file g.bat, you use this by typing "g filename" where “filename.for” is your programme, so you don't need to keep on typing the .for extension, and you get an executable file "filename.exe" automatically with the same name (the g77 command by itself always gives you a.exe)

E.bat - need to unzip the file e.bat, use this to edit the programme if you don't want to go to Windows and use notepad or whatever, again you don't need to type the .for extension, just type "e filename" and it will edit “filename.for”
