'''MBASIC''' is the [[Microsoft BASIC|'''M'''icrosoft '''BASIC''']] implementation of [[BASIC]] for the [[CP/M]] operating system. MBASIC is a descendant of the original [[Altair BASIC]] interpreters that were among Microsoft's first products. MBASIC was one of the two versions of BASIC bundled with the [[Osborne 1]] computer. The name "MBASIC" is derived from the disk file name MBASIC.COM of the BASIC interpreter.  MBASIC, like its predecessor family of 8-bit interpreters [[Microsoft BASIC]], were heavily inspired by [[Digital Equipment Corporation]] [[PDP-10]]'s [[BASIC-PLUS]].
