Basic2C is a portable command line utility to convert BBC Basic to ANSI C. It is marketed for Acorn RISC-OS by Clares Micro Supplies, and if you wish to purchase a copy please contact Clares on +44 1606 48511 or else email them on sales@clares.demon.co.uk. Please note that Basic2C will only run on Acorn machines fitted with RISC-OS 3.1 or greater (although possibly it may work on lesser versions of RISC-OS) and 2Mb of RAM or more. A hard disc is also a good idea, although not essential.

This is the unofficial support site of Basic2C, mainly because I (Niall Douglas) care about the program and want to offer support perhaps not easily available from Clares directly. Please note I will not enter into email support discussions unless Clares forward it to me first i.e.; approach them with support issues. Then if they feel it's appropriate they may forward it to me. You can contact Clares support on +44 1606 48511 or support@clares.demon.co.uk.

You may be interested in builds of Basic2C for other platforms:

Win32 (x86) build, suitable for any machine capable of running Win32 (only 486 or higher). You must have the Microsoft run-time libraries installed on your machine (most do - if you are viewing this from an ActiveX capable browser). If you require the run-time libraries, click here to install them.

There are no other builds available as yet.

Meanwhile, this page is still under construction and many new things may be added at a later stage.
