History
HP BASIC for OpenVMS has gone through many name changes. It began at DEC, which was bought by Compaq, who then merged with HP. Since the company name is embedded in the product name, each new owner changed the product name. It has also been ported to a succession of new platforms as they were developed by DEC/Compaq/HP, over a period of more than 30 years.
