== Successors to MBASIC == Besides Microsoft's BASIC-80 for CP/M, a variant of MBASIC was also available as for the [[Intel ISIS-II|ISIS-II]] operating system. [[MSX BASIC|MSX-BASIC]] is also a well known successor of MBASIC, featuring several extensions specific to the [[MSX]] machines. All the functions of CP/M MBASIC were available in the IBM PC disk-based [[BASICA]] or [[GWBASIC]] which made migration of programs from CP/M systems to PC-compatibles possible. The tokens used to represent keywords were different, so CP/M programs had to be saved in ASCII source form. Typically screen formatting escape sequences put into the CP/M version would be replaced with the cursor positioning commands found in the PC versions of BASIC, otherwise little rewriting would be needed.
