O'Basic97 is a system script language with a BASIC-like syntax. It is a well developed script language whose syntax looks a lot like simple BASIC code. Code and dialog resources are combined into a single, editable script module known as a .COD file which the O'Basic interpreter engine can understand. O'Basic's editor provides an excellent programmers editor for the code portion of the .COD as well as a dialog editor for dialog resources portion. Dialogs become real Windows95 windows during script execution and can be manipulated using script code. Integration with the Windows 95 shell makes .COD file creation a snap. The editor is small and opens quickly, which means that programming with O'Basic is quick and efficient.
