Does anyone know how to program or run BASIC proggies on a Palm OS PDA? I've tried using CBasPad, but I get syntax errors with even simple programs. I've browsed other programs, but none of them seem to work.
There are two reasons I want to do this:
1. I really want to show off my geekyness to my friends
2. I want to use a program I wrote for timing debate rounds (db8 rules!)
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

NS Basic is popular and seems well done. It's pricey -- current version is $149, but there's a demo to try for free. You might still be able to find earlier shareware versions around that are less crippled and compiles ok. Progs require a runtime.

I had a Palm (handspring), but got a ipaq Pocket PC now and use Qbasic on it thanks to a great DOS emu called PocketDOS. Programs made in QB45 run fine on it too.
