Logo is an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, and Cynthia Solomon. Logo is not an acronym: the name was coined by Feurzeig while he was at Bolt, Beranek and Newman, and derives from the Greek logos, meaning word or thought. Thank you for downloading MSWLogo from our software portal. The download is provided as is, with no modifications or changes made on our side. The program is distributed free of charge. The version of MSWLogo you are about to download is 6.5. The software is.
MSWLogo is a programming language which is interpreted, based on the language Logo, with a graphical user interface (GUI) front end. It was developed by George Mills at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Its core is the same as UCBLogo by Brian Harvey. It is free and open-source software, with source code available, in Borland C++.
MSWLogo supports multiple turtle graphics, 3D computer graphics, and allows input from ports COM and LPT. It also supports a windows interface, so input/output (I/O) is available through this GUI, and keyboard and mouse events can trigger interrupts. Simple GIF animations may also be produced on MSWLogo version 6.5 with the command gifsave. The program is also used as educational software. Jim Muller wrote The Great Logo Adventure, a complete Logo manual using MSWLogo as the demonstration language.
MSWLogo has evolved into FMSLogo: An Educational Programming Environment, a free, open source implementation of the language Logo for Microsoft Windows. It is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and is mainly developed and maintained by David Costanzo.

I think Daniel is asking only for 8-bit-language internationalization, not
Unicode. UCBLogo has a (kludgy) internationalization scheme that could be
used pretty easily by MSWLogo.

You might want to wait until fall, when I expect to release the wxWidgets-
based UCBLogo GUI. But it isn't as GUIish as the MSWLogo -- it has a menu
bar, for example, but not those big buttons in the lower right. OTOH it
lets you type instructions into a real text window, not that one-line thing.

MSWLogo already uses the UCBLogo engine; it's just a question of updating
to the current version. (There will be a 5.5 this summer, soon I hope; you
might want to wait for that. It won't be amazingly different from earlier
versions except that it has mouse support, but it will have some bugs fixed.)

Using the wxWidgets version would fix that.
On the other hand, I believe MSWLogo reads keyboard input differently from
UCBLogo; I think it's event-driven, the way Windows applications are
supposed to be. The wxWidgets UCBLogo has a separate (event-driven) thread
that handles I/O, and buffers characters for the Logo thread.
