Line 1: ~~{{stub}}~~{{implementation\|BASIC}} '''BASICA''' is a [[BASIC]] [[interpreter]] developed by [[Microsoft]] and included with early versions of [[DOS\|PC-DOS]]. It ~~(apparently)~~ requires ROM BASIC (a BASIC interpreter contained in a ROM chip; a standard feature of the earliest [[IBM]] PCs) to function correctly. After a few years, BASICA was superseded by ~~[[wp:~~GW-BASIC~~\|GW-BASIC]], which was itself superseded by [[QuickBASIC#QBasic\|QBasic]]~~. ==GW-BASIC== '''GW-BASIC''' is identical to BASICA, except that where BASICA requires ROM BASIC, GW-BASIC is entirely contained within the interpreter itself. It was included with several versions of DOS. GW-BASIC was eventually superseded by [[QuickBASIC#QBasic\|QBasic]]. ==See also== * [[wp:IBM BASICA\|BASICA on Wikipedia]] * [[wp:GW-BASIC\|GW-BASIC on Wikipedia]]
