While Atari BASIC came on an 8 kilobyte KB ROM cartridge, BASIC A was delivered on floppy disk and took 15 KB of the computer s RAM, leaving 23 KB available for user programs in a 48 KB Atari 800. BASIC A was offered at a price of US 80.00 in 1983, including the products OS A and EASMD Editor Assembler , and being an extension of Atari BASIC, came with a supplement to the latter s reference manual as its documentation. In addition to being faster than its ROM bound counterpart, BASIC A provided a number of extra commands for DOS operations, sprite computer graphics player missile graphics, and debugging .

Business Basic is the name given collectively to variants of the BASIC computer programming language which were specialised for business use on minicomputers in the 1970s and 1980s. Business Basics added indexed file access methods to the normal set of BASIC commands, and were optimised for other input output access, especially computer terminal display terminal control. The two major families of Business Basic are MAI Basic Four , and Data General Business Basic . In the 1980s, Business Basics were ported from their original proprietary environments to many Unix platforms, and to DOS . In the 1990s, some Business Basics were ported to Linux and Microsoft Windows Windows , and Business Basic integrated development environment s became available. Business Basic continues to be widely used due to the very large base of application software.

Law unref date November 2007 The term basic law is used in some places as an alternative to constitution , implying it is a temporary but necessary measure without formal enactment of constitution. A basic law is either a codified constitution , or in countries with uncodified constitution s, a law given to have constitution powers and effect. The name is usually used to imply an interim or transitory nature, or avoid attempting a claim to being the highest law , often for religious reasons. In West Germany the term Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany basic law Grundgesetz was used to indicate that the basic law was provisional until the ultimate reunification of Germany . When Germany was reunified in 1990, no new constitution was adopted and instead the basic law was adopted throughout the entire German territory. Basic law is entrenched in that it overrides ordinary statute law passed by the legislature. The special administrative region People s Republic of China special administrative region s of the People s Republic of China , namely Hong Kong and Macau , have basic laws as their constitutional documents.

In technical drawing , a basic dimension is a theoretically exact dimension, given from a datum to a feature of interest. In Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing , basic dimensions are used to communicate the critical design dimensions of a part. Basic dimensions represent an ideal case and as such, have no tolerance. To facilitate manufactureability, a feature control frame is often used to assign a dimensional tolerance to the feature that is referenced in by the basic dimension. Chained basic dimensions do not create tolerance stack up. Proper tolerance must be inferred by Datums referenced in the feature control frame, and not by dimension arrows or start points. Basic dimension are denoted by enclosing the number of the dimension in a rectangle .
