Came across this auction on eBayfor a Mac Basic manual claiming the software was never released. ... , I would think this manual would be somewhat rare.

I've got a copy of that book in my room, on my desk. I'm planning on typing some of it to put on my site.

Are there at least beta copies floating around of Mac Basic? Never had a call to use any of it, but thought this was interesting.

Yes. Check my site: http://macgui.com/downloads/?file_id=17339 Mac BASIC .335
That happens to be a copy from my own disk, and it is the OLDEST known copy in the entire world! (ie, I was the first to put it online!)

The other version, which is also on my site, is newer and I got it from another 68kmla'er. http://macgui.com/downloads/?file_id=17340

However, I believe that the About dialog box was defaced. See for yourself.

It looks awfully familiar.

It's a spoof of a well-known painting.
