Editorial Review:BASIC's simple syntax is easy to learn, making it a longstanding first choice for beginning programmers. VIP-BASIC simplifies the coding process even further, providing novices with a helpful framework and more experienced programmers with the tools to get the job done quickly. The VIP in the software's name stands for Visual Interactive Programming and refers to a suite of tools and shortcuts geared toward making any programmer's life easier. The dispatcher sets up the program's main loop for you, and interface items are automatically linked in as they're created with VIP-BASIC's simple resource editors. Further statements can be selected from an invaluable pop-up palette, keeping the syntax clean, and all routines are instantly reflected through the handy built-in flow-charting tool. Pop-up palettes keep you one step removed from the complexities of the Macintosh Toolbox by letting you point and click to insert functions from VIP-BASIC's libraries. BASIC is perfectly capable of being used to create virtually any kind of application, and VIP-BASIC's comprehensive visual interactive environment can make the process significantly speedier. Once you've used the visual debugger to ensure that all is running as it should, you can distribute your software with VIP-BASIC's royalty-free runtime module, or--even better--export your code as standard ANSI C and later compile it properly. --Jack Gardiner
Now you can create full-featured, stand-alone Macintosh and Power Macintosh applications in just minutes. VIP-BASIC features include an integrated design and application framework, integrated resource editors, integrated form editors, interface event dispatcher, powerful high-level functions, online access to all Mac Toolbox calls, and an intelligent debugger. It's everything you need to write 680x0 and native Power Macintosh applications. VIP-BASIC has been updated for Mac OS 8.

This product, along with Vip C is no longer being supported. I recommend that Mac users looking for a BASIC programming package try REALBasic, or Future Basic. Codewarrior Discovery is also a good choice.
