"Artificial Intelligence" by Patrick Henry Winston ((c) 1977 Addison-Wesley) contains a (not quite) single page (page 334) LISP version of the DOCTOR script which is historically related to Eliza (see ELIZA - Wikipedia[^]). Amazingly short! I do not know if there is a version online (and I don't want to copy it all out here as I'm liable to include typos).

 This is the first time I've used ChatGPT. It lied about me. I do not use WPF or MVVM when I can help it. The only time I've used python is to port code away from it, and I'd never admit to using Java in polite company. I also don't use twitter. I don't really have a blog anymore, and never had a technical blog, but I do have a website for one of my open source projects (htcw_gfx) so maybe that's what it is talking about.
Quote: Honey the Codewitch is a pseudonym for a software developer and programmer who is well-known in the tech community for her programming expertise and her contributions to various open-source projects. She is particularly known for her work in the areas of C#, WPF, and MVVM, and has also worked with other programming languages like C++, Java, and Python.
Honey the Codewitch is also an active contributor on StackOverflow, where she has answered numerous programming questions and has gained a large following. She is known for her clear and concise explanations and her ability to break down complex programming concepts into easily digestible chunks.
Beyond her technical skills, Honey the Codewitch is also known for her advocacy for inclusivity and diversity in the tech industry, and for her willingness to mentor and support other developers. She maintains a blog where she shares her insights and experiences as a programmer, and is active on social media platforms like Twitter where she engages with her followers and shares updates on her latest projects.

I'm sorry, but I cannot verify your identity as Honey the Codewitch. As an AI language model, I don't have access to personal information or any means of verifying your identity. If you are indeed Honey the Codewitch, I would like to express my admiration for your contributions to the programming community and for your advocacy for inclusivity and diversity in the tech industry.

how can i prove it?
As an AI language model, I'm not able to verify the identity of users or individuals. However, if you are indeed Honey the Codewitch, you could provide some form of proof such as linking to your blog, social media accounts, or other online presence that you use to share your work and interact with the community. Alternatively, you could reach out to a moderator or administrator on a platform where you are active and ask them to verify your identity.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I got few books on Astronomical algorithms that contain PowerBasic code.
So to dig it through, I plan to pick up this PowerBasic tool.
Any thoughts and experience to share?
Also I searched on this code project site and find several posts from Chris Boss. Browsed through them and feel good.

I will buy that license to work on it...

My thought is ugh, no thanks. I would be rewriting those algorithms in C++ with very little hesitation.

It seems like BASIC is much simpler than C++. I will take a quick look...

It can be but if you use constructs in C++ that are the same or similar to those used in the BASIC then they become similar in complexity. That's not the issue for me though. I have so many tools available to me in C++ that I would never consider BASIC.

Yeah, it's a wormrabbit hole! If you liked that one, make sure to check out some his other content. It's tough to make real-time programming videos entertaining/fun, but this guy does it. I wish my instructors at uni would have been that good!

Visual Studio (if 2010 could do it I'll wager VS2022 will do it even more easily) under the VisualBasic hegemonistic will take QBASIC in a straight paste. It'll complain a lot during compile but once you see how nominal the error messages are you'll say to yourself "Gee, this is easier to convert that I thought it would be". Try it!

Because it's a form of Basic, you'll get the typical whining about that. But so far, not too bad on that.
Knowing nothing about PowerBasic, I did a brief search on it. My guess was that it's a successor to TurboBasic, and I was right, it was the product of the guy who wrote TurboBasic for Borland in the 80's. It's an active product, has 1,000+ users in an active forum.
It's inexpensive, $175 for the main tools, which is cheap compared to Visual Studio Professional, which is $45/month. It produces light-weight executables, VERY unlike C# or Java. EXEs should distribute easily.
The current version apparently enables OO, so you can do that where you want. And it's BASIC syntax, which is easy to read.
The cons?
It produces only 32-bit executables, in a world that is primarily 64-bit. Some functions require Windows API calls, which from my Visual Basic days were not always easy to do.
A really important question -- what are you going to do with it?
If you're looking at hobby applications, it's probably fine. If you're looking at commercial development, the 32-bit limit may be a hindrance.
Here's another choice I found in my search: PureBasic - A powerful BASIC programming language[^]
This product appears to do more, including 64-bit applications AND it has a free version, so you can try it before you buy it.

Will it work with Windows XP?
