About This Guide
Introduction
This guide describes
the
machine-specific aspects
of
the
im-
plementation
of HP-UX Technical BASIC
on
the
Integral
Personal Computer.
HP-UX Technical BASIC is a
new
version
of
BASIC devel-
oped
from Series 80 BASIC for
the
HP-UX series of
computers.
It
includes
most
of
the
Series 80 keywords
found
in
Series 80 BASIC, including
the
keywords
found
in
the
Ad-
vanced
Programming
ROM,
Printer/Plotter
ROM,
I/O
ROM
and
the
Matrix ROM.
Although
the
language is similar,
the
interpreter itself will
not
run
on
Series 80 computers. This
guide also describes
how
to transfer Series 80 programs
and
data files to
the
Integral Personal Computer.
In
most
cases,
Series 80 programs will
run
with
only slight modifications.
Because
of
the
machine-specific differences
among
HP
-
UX
comp~ters,
the
implementation
of
HP-UX Technical BASIC
on
each
machine is slightly different. These machine-specific
differences include:
• Special keys (including cursor keys,
editing
keys
and
func-
tion
keys)
• Graphics capability
• Multiple
window
environment
• Printer
enhancements
• Display
enhancements
• BASIC Keyword differences
•
Memory
speed
