Gordon Edwin Eubanks, Jr.[1][2] (born November 7, 1946) is an American microcomputer industry pioneer who worked with Gary Kildall in the early days of Digital Research (DRI).
Eubanks attended Oklahoma State University, where he was involved as a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
[1][3][4] Eubank's 1976 master's thesis was a BASIC language compiler called BASIC-E designed for Kildall's new CP/M operating system.
Other people say the name CBASIC referred to "commercial" basic,[4][3] because it incorporated BCD mathematics which eliminated MBASIC's rounding errors that were sometimes troublesome for accounting.
In 1984, Eubanks joined Symantec and from 1984 to 1986 he helped develop Q & A, an integrated database and wordprocessor with natural language query.
