FutureBASIC Now Free – FBtoC Available
Starting life as ZBasic, FutureBASIC has had a loyal following on the Mac since Chris Stasny took over under Staz Software. We’ve reviewed FutureBASIC in the past, and even received some entries into uDevGames made with this IDE. In August 2005, Staz Software was severely hit by Hurricane Katrina and with advancements in Mac OS X, FutureBASIC headed towards the way of CodeWarrior. Staz Software released FutureBASIC as freeware in 2008 but we haven’t heard much from the community until now — an independent team of FutureBASIC programmers developed a translator that allows FutureBASIC to generate applications as Universal Binaries through the use of the open source GCC compiler. The translator, FBtoC is available for download and is currently at version 1.4.1. FutureBASIC 5.4.1 is also available from this project’s site.
