BCX
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BCX, a free software programming application, translates BASIC source code to C/C++ source code for compilation using various Win32 compilers.
BCX is a small command line tool that takes a BASIC source code file and outputs a C/C++ source code file. The result can then be compiled using any of several C/C++ compilers, including non-commercial ones. Code generated by BCX can be compiled into 32-bit native Windows GUI programs, console mode programs, and Dynamic Link Libraries.
BCX is written in BCX BASIC, making it a self-translating translator. The C/C++ source code produced by BCX has been successfully compiled using seven C/C++ compilers: Microsoft VC++, Borland Free Compiler, Digital Mars, Mingw32, Watcom, Lcc-Win32 Compiler, and Pelles C Compiler
Kevin Diggins authored and developed BCX from 1999 until 2004 when he released the source code under a modified GPL. Kevin continues to moderate the Yahoo BCX forum.
Mike Henning now updates and maintains BCX at the original BCX Yahoo Discussion Forum (link below).
