- This material was submitted to me on disk directly by the author, Jurgen
- Forster, for inclusion in the library. Thanks Jurgen!

- This is something that I think has been needed for a long time on the
- Amiga. Over the years, many people have submitted BASIC programs to me
- for inclusion in the library, but I have seldom used such material. This
- is partly due to my own ignorance about BASIC, but mostly due to the
- complications of distributing BASIC programs in an immediately usable
- form. Since I can't include the proprietary AmigaBASIC interpreter,
- interpreted programs require some assumptions about where the interpreter
- can be found, and how to run it to use the program. Compiled programs
- that use a runtime library that is not linked with the program itself
- raise questions about the distribution status of the runtime library.
- I have usually chosen to avoid dealing with these complications.
-
- So, if any of you BASIC fans have some program that you would like to
- see included in the library, feel free to get it running with this
- compiler and submit it to me. Be sure to state it was compiled with
- this compiler. I will treat it with the same consideration that I now
- give to programs written in more "traditional" languages like assembly,
- C, Modula, Fortran, etc.
