- These are the files as found on the Computer Language SIG on the Micronet.
- Unfortunatly, there was no documentation. Most of what documentation there
- is, is in the file BCBC.PRO which is the 'structured' BASIC version.
-
- Also, the compiler will not compile itself because of certain statements
- like DEFINT and DEF FN. That's really too bad. The ultimate test of a
- compiler is to write it in the language it compiles. However, this version
- 1.0 and was written in 1983, so maybe Mr. Tonklin has improved it. I haven't
- heard anything about newer versions. Also, there is an address in the
- BCBC.PRO file where you can write for a manual ($10.00). I never sent for
- it because I read the source and got a good feel for what it expects.
- A good rule of thumb, is don't get too complicated with expressions.
-
- I can't say much for the error messages the compiler generates. It gives
- you an error at the compiled code address, not the offending line number.
- I always compile with the FULL DOCUMENTATION option. Then at least I can
- check the .ASM file for the problem line.
-
- This certainly isn't BASCOM but what the heck, it's free.

- enjoy...
