Locomotive BASIC Shell download

This is a versatile BASIC interpreter for Linux, Windows, and UNIX and others, developed in FreePascal (Lazarus). Modeled after the Locomotive BASIC of the Amstrad CPC, it offers broad compatibility with its predecessor. The interpreter serves as an accessible programming environment for beginners and advanced users alike.
It can also function as a shell replacement on Linux or as a CGI binary on a web server, enabling the creation of dynamic web applications in BASIC. Graphics (sixel mode or external app) and sound capabilities, inherited from the Amstrad CPC, are fully supported and can be seamlessly utilized in both web-based and desktop applications. On a web server you can not only write text, but send the graphics screen or parts of it as html pictures. GET, POST and COOKIE variables are fully supported (tested on OpenBSD).
With the |TAPE command you can save files to a wav file as to an Amstrad cassette.
