* JavaScript

* C#

For JavaScript, blessed be dbox and others that spared us from that and we have QBJS. Big Grin

C#, a thousand times no! M$ sucks! They should have never been allowed to take control of BASIC. Oh well we would been using True Basic today if it weren't for QuickBASIC but... (grumble)

I think there was a link somewhere that had the code for these typed out for copy/paste. 

Does anyone have a link?

Individual files and an 'all-in-one' zip file.

But wait... there's more...

Thanks for the links Smile

Quite a lot of these work out of the box with QB64PE. Any `DEF FN` needs to be turned into a `FUNCTION` however.

Like:

`5 DEF FNA(Z)=30*EXP(-Z*Z/100)`

can become:
```
' 5 DEF FNA(Z)=30*EXP(-Z*Z/100)
FUNCTION FNA(Z)
  FNA = 30*EXP(-Z*Z/100)
END FUNCTION
```

That way you comment out the `DEF FN` and create a `FUNCTION` that has the same name, and just put the equals as the return of the function.

This is an interesting collection for sure.
