I have been playing with yabasic.  It worked fine
from the command line, but unfortunately when I
tried to do graphics (on Xvesa) it failed with 
this error:  Could not get any TrueColor visual

I noticed in the yabasic documentation that a major
"improvement" was made to the graphics in version
2.760.  So I hunted around for an earlier version
(pre-improvement) and found 2.744.  I compiled it
and (happy happy) it works with Xvesa.

I have now replaced the yabasic.tgz package at
both BL3 sites.  If you have already downloaded 
the earlier version, you can keep using it for 
non-graphical programs.  However, if you want 
to use the graphical commands in yabasic, I 
recommend you download the new package.

If you are not sure which version you have,
the following will tell you:
-------------
yabasic -help

The good version is 2.744.

Cheers,
Steven
