Workstation Basic

Workstation Basic is the former name of Business Rules! See the History.

Workstation Basic was created in 1981 by a small group of programmers, to run programs on PCs that were originally written in the old IBM System/23 Basic language to run on Mainframes.

Workstation Basic is still maintained and supported today, under the name of Business Rules (abbreviated as BR).

The latest versions of Business Rules can still run IBM System/23 programs today, on modern operating systems, in network environments, with full support for modern printers, and even Web Applications.

If you have old software that runs in Workstation Basic and you're looking for more information about it, or what you can do to support it, or want to run your programs on modern computers and operating systems and on modern printers, you've come to the right place.
