According to the website, the CD it is on works on both Macs and PCs. You could always try.

cool, thanks gonzo...Just making sure ya know

Heres something that I find surprising...

John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz invented BASIC in 1964 for use at Dartmouth College. They made it freely available to everyone who wanted to learn how to program computers
So like 40+ years later, it costs money, but when it was brand new, it was free...

Now thats ironic...

It's only that program that costs money. Other BASIC interpreters/compilers are free. Just do a Google search.
