# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| pcbasic: pcbasic (GW-BASIC interpreter) pcbasic: pcbasic: pcbasic is a free, cross-platform emulator for the GW-BASIC family of pcbasic: interpreters.
