Bywater Basic
Description
A Basic interpreter that confirms to a subset of Minimal Basic (ECMA Standard ECMA-55 later copied as ANSI Standard for Minimal BASIC). As ECMA-55 resembles vintage Street Basic implementations, BWB can be used to port vintage Basic listings without much problems, the other interesting thing about Bywater Basic is that it has support for console/shell commands that is pretty unique amongst modern interpreters.
