NSBASIC For Ipaq

NSBASIC For Ipaq
I need this to run a free game I downloaded for my Ipaq: but research tells me that they want $100 bucks for it. Let's be honest I am not willing to pay for something to run something that is free. Now if I were to use NSBASIC regulary for any reason, then maybe it would be a wise investment: but for my needs that is ludicrious.

Does anyone know if I can get this for free?

Mods:
Please note I am not asking for a crack copy of this!

Moderator's Edit

After clarification, he is looking for a free ALTERNATIVE to this software.

well the way I have always done it it first print it out.
then go through it line by line and rewrite it to match the syntex of msbasic, they are very close, but just enough differant to not run.
the hardest part is ther error checking and the go to loops

Bailey,
That is way too complicated. One I am not a programmer, two this is just a free game I want to play that requires nsbasic to do so. Any other ideas besides altering the programming?

sorry, but I have fought that battel for years.
I always found programs that I wanted to use in ham radio, but they were always written in north star basic and had to convert them before I could use them.
some I never was sucessful with
but there is no other way I know of.
unless you can find a copy of north star basic to buy, I never tried that.

You are asking for access to pay for software for free to run a free program.... If you must PAY for the software, crack, warez, whatever you call it, you know that it isn't supported here. Now unless a legitimate reason can be given to provide support to finde PAY FOR software for free, I have no choice but to close the thread and provide directions to the FAQ and a warning.

good hal as all the basic and north star software is free software and usally printed in books and maginezens for free distribution, but converting from one to the other has always bee a problem but will work.
