NS Basic/CE is a complete BASIC toolkit that runs entirely on a Windows CE device. It uses Microsoft's standard VBScript engine as its core, combined with extensions to create a complete development and runtime environment. NS Basic/CE provides a full, modern implementation of BASIC, with proper subroutines, variant data types and no line numbers. VBScript is built into the ROM of many H/PCs, keeping memory requirements low.

Extensions provide support for file I/O, serial I/O, WINSOCK, financial functions, database I/O and a set of standard screen input and output objects and dialog boxes. Microsoft technologies such as ADO and ActiveX are supported. Applications you create are freely distributable and are write once, run anywhere. Includes a 200 page spiral bound Handbook and lots of sample code.

With NS Basic/CE, you'll have everything you need to create great apps - completely on your HPC. No cables, no desktop toolkits, no synchronization, no downloading.
