Hi all. I have a code written in EasyLanguage. How can i translate

Never heard of it. Try translation to C or Ada instead. Basic is

Look up ISO/IEC 10279.

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.
Are your programs portable over those machines? Actually MS Basic
is much closer to Pascal than to the original standardized Basic.
Niche, but fairly large one. Rapidly shrinking.
