.file extension TRC - True BASIC compiled code
File extension TRC description:
Compiled code used by True BASIC.
John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz invented BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) for use at Dartmouth College. They made it freely available to everyone who wanted to learn how to program computers. It soon became a world standard.
In 1983 they created True BASIC to incorporate and showcase all the advanced developments they had added to their language, and offered it as a commercial product.
True BASIC is the BASIC you have been looking for. Simple to use, with the full complement of functions and statements in every version. It is widely used both in schools and colleges and by individual programmers. True BASIC allows you to write and run structured code as well as line-numbered legacy code.
Here you will find an exciting range of True BASIC software and books. A demo version of the True BASIC Bronze edition, with all functions and statements, can be downloaded from the Free & Demos section. It runs 15-20 minutes per session, and can be restarted an unlimited number of times.
