ZX81 BASIC. Still the best programming platform for Traveller.

You can't exactly share your efforts with that.

I dabble with Liberty BASIC. If I ever can afford to pay for the full version, I'll have the ability to create stand-alone programs.

My first BASIC was the Timex Spectrum back in the Eighties and some of my first programs (they were NOT called apps!) was Traveller world generator and character generators.

Your welcome.

Is this outfit part of the people who created Liberty BASIC or are they going around the creators to give away someone's product. I have suspicions and reservations about that.

:lol: They are only giving away code THEY own and wrote. Do you think that for a nano-second that they are stealing copyrighted code? Do you think that the company who owns Liberty wouldn't sue the pants off someone who was publicly doing so???? :roll:

I just checked the Liberty BASIC site and they're still selling their product. Why would they be letting someone else give it away as oppose to Liberty BASIC having available a limited version for trying out? Doesn't sound like a normal business model. I'm not a fan of any kind piracy and I see too many people justify it. This looks like it until I see otherwise. When I can afford the full version, I will.

They aren't "letting" them. They have no legal recourse in the matter. If you sold a model car without assembly instructions and I wrote some assembly instructions and posted them you could do nothing. The instructions I wrote are not your property.

I can't explain more without getting deeper into S/W I.P. law which you aren't equipped to understand without more study off line on the subject in general.

Sorry 'bout that. I was just trying to solve a person's problem that they didn't really want solved. I won't keep trying to convince him that its solved.
