There are lots, what particular skills are you trying to impart? Non-GUI is pretty broad. For example SQL introduces new concepts over things like BASIC, is really easy to set up for teaching and collecting work, non-GUI, but nothing like BASIC. I like Logo, of turtle fame, but you really want languages with lots of support if you have to also sell it as a marketable skill. Cygwin gets you C, C++, Fortran, Prolog, TCL, Ruby, Python, Scheme and some others, and a half dozen shells, various editors. Includes database clients as well for SQL. If the type of language you want isn't there I'd be surprised. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
