The only one that I know of is a watered-down BASIC compiler called ASIC (as in: "Almost BASIC") which I had found in the Simtel-20 Archives in the directory pd1:<msdos.basic>. The file is: ASIC20.ZIP.1. This compiler and interpreter package makes up for the fact that it's watered-down by producing code which is extremely fast, compared to QBASIC's .exe files. I don't use it much, due to its limitations, but you may find it useful. I believe it is SHAREWARE, and an updated version may be had for a small fee, _I think_. It comes with mucho documentation; be sure to read carefully, since it is "BASIC-like", but with differences. paulk -- paulk@odie.cs.mun.ca
