[Simh] slightly off-topic where can I find the Compaq basic translator?

If you are talking about Vax basic, then I hate been playing with a basic to c++ translator in my spare time,. It may not do the whole job, but it might be easier than starting from scratch.
It's on github called btran under khandy21yo.
It  may, or may not work for you.
There was a commercial Vax basic translator someone did (sector7?) but I don't know much more than that.

does anyone know where I can find the Compaq basic translator?
or have a copy they can let me use?



I have a ton of old vax basic code but every basic is different and trying to do it manually is a pain.



ultimately I'd like the code to run on Linux. in whatever language. there's a bunch of basics there too.



I don't care for visual basic. I loved the simple elegance of vax basic nothing since has come close. esp eg indexed files.



thanks
