Open Source Projects - Open source projects provide a way for many people to develop software together.  Sometimes the code is released to the public domain, and sometimes the original developer places restrictions on how the software can be distributed, or on how it is used (read the license, if there is one).

LB2BCX - This is a new open source project to convert Liberty BASIC code to BCX, which is a BASIC to C translator.  The LB2BCX translator is written in Liberty BASIC, which is used to convert itself to BCX!  Pretty cool!  The translator is limited in terms of what it can convert at this time, but with some volunteer help a lot can be accomplished!
