Hi all. I have a code written in EasyLanguage. How can i translate
it to Basic? Anything or anyone outhere that can shed some light
on this?

Never heard of it. Try translation to C or Ada instead. Basic is
non-standardized,

Look up ISO/IEC 10279.

non-viable,

In its Visual Basic incarnation, it is used in production environments
all over the world.

and a niche market.

I've written BASIC programs on an IBM mainframe, an Acorn Electron, a
ZX81, a Spectrium, an Atari 800, Atari ST, an Amiga, a PC running
MS-DOS, a PC running Windows, a Linux box, and of course on a BBC B. It
has been the stalwart of low-spec home computers since the Altair. The
Windows GUI-aware version which became Visual Basic was a triumph of
creativity and design that brought Windows programming into the realm
of the possible for many thousands of people. I would venture to
suggest that there are *millions* of people nowadays who can write
BASIC programs.

Some niche.
