HP BASIC for OpenVMS is the latest name for a dialect of the BASIC programming language created by Digital Equipment Corporation and now owned by Hewlett-Packard. Although it was developed before VMS on the PDP-11 platform, it was later ported to VMS on VAX then OpenVMS on Alpha. It has recently been ported to OpenVMS on Integrity (HP's name for servers based upon Itanium processors from Intel).

Famous quotes containing the word basic:
“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
