The strange thing is that it's not only the original total link that has been deleted, my subsequent posts have also been deleted (and very quickly). Someone doesn't want to see any reference to it for some reason.
I wonder if it's because they are talking of a Just Basic 2 and that this new version still doesn't include EVAL. That would be strange but no stranger than what has happened. In my posts, I requested a reason for the deletions and I didn't even receive the courtesy of a response, just deletion of my posts.
I must say I find LB and JB's aversion to LBB very strange. All the other "BASIC" forums seem to talk freely about other versions. Some even include sections where one can freely discuss other programming languages.

It seems ridiculous to me if users are not allowed to devise workarounds for limitations of the language. I've seen some cunning uses of the JB RUN statement which can go some way to compensate for the absence of CALLDLL, yet it's never been suggested that these are 'illegal'. 'Clever' programming should be encouraged rather than penalised!

That is disgraceful. You could try appealing to one of the other admins: Rod Bird (who posts here) is listed as an admin of the Just BASIC forum so he might be able to shed some light on what is going on. There has been some pretty inexcusable behaviour at the Liberty BASIC Community Forum in the past but the Just BASIC forum has (at least until now) seemed to be run quite responsibly.

The rules of the Just BASIC forum specifically allow discussion of other languages so long as it is not "in depth" and is not "promoting" them. They state: "Other languages may be mentioned when discussing code to be converted or tools that can be adapted" (Rule 2, just in case they are retrospectively changed, as happened at the LB forum).
But that's not an issue in this case. The substitute EVAL function had no specific connection with LBB or any other BASIC dialect, it was perfectly ordinary Just BASIC code. There were a couple of references to LBB in the thread because, coincidentally, expression evaluation was being discussed here but that should have been covered under the "discussing code to be converted or tools that can be adapted" clause - and anyway those individual posts could have been removed if anybody felt that strongly.
Richard.

Hi guys
interesting discussion but what a worth of all this.
honestly i think that all those people arounded
around CG are servant or are very limited mind
probably they think that whole basic world start with
JB/LB but that times are gone.
