A Brief History of Microworld BASIC article - ChickenMan - 05-05-2026
Thanks to MbeeTech for providing this Wordstar document that was found on a Basic source code disk.
It was written by Garner Annett and dated 25 May 1987 with a small update on 9 June 1988. It covers the history of Microworld BASIC from version 5.00 through to the last version 6.35 and includes both ROM and floppy drive versions. We have most of the versions available in the Repository.
The Wordstar doc was loaded into Wordperfect on my Win 11 PC. It natively supports Wordstar 3.0, 3.3 and 4.0 versions and then saved out as a MS Word document. A couple of minor layout issues were fixed, margins adjusted and saved out as a PDF.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee\Documentation\Articles folder we placed
