- 1. Downloaded this application in your PC.
- 2. Enter in our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 3. Upload this application in such filemanager.
- 4. Start any OS OnWorks online emulator from this website, but better Windows online emulator.
- 5. From the OnWorks Windows OS you have just started, goto our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 6. Download the application and install it.
- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

FirstStep programming language
DESCRIPTION
This is an interpreted programming language that is designed to teach young children the fundamentals of programming, hiding away from students the complex concepts of programming, such as parentheses, quotes, data types, arrays, while allowing them to understand the basic concepts of programming, and, move to a more advanced language.
It also serves as an exapmle on how to create an interpreter with QBASIC.
The interpreter is written in QBASIC, and is licensed under the GNU GPLv2.
About the unixname:
The "shortname" of the project was a typo, but it was too late when I actually realised it.
Features that still need to be implemented:
Boolean expressions (IF) (If I ever find a flexible way to implement them, because you can't parse user input to a boolean command in QBASIC, without using a dynamically changed BAS file, which is going to fail if using it compilled)
The source code should be compiled with either QB64, QuickBASIC or freeBASIC (with the -lang qb switch enabled
Features
- Simple, short, easy-to-remember commands, which makes teaching easier.
- Ideal for use as a linear-programming education environment
- Can handle up to 500 variables (identified by numbers 1-500) and can open up to one file at a time (this limitation will soon be removed).
