                                                             516 694 5872

        Software   author   Dennis  Baer  has  released  the   Structured 
        Programming  Language,  (SPL)  a  free  format  block  structured 
        programming  language  that  runs on MSDOS  and  PCDOS  operating 
        systems. SPL is an alternative to PASCAL and C.

             The  SPL  language  is implemented  by  a  translator  which 
        converts  SPL source code to a Microsoft BASIC program which  can 
        then  be compiled with Microsoft's Quick Basic,  MS BASIC,  IBM's 
        BASICA, or ported to machines such as AMIGA, MACINTOSH, ATARI ST, 
        or CP/M and compiled with the BASIC compiler for those machines.

        SPL  has  been released as SHARE WARE and is  available  as  file 
        SPLLIB.ARC  on  BIX  in the IBM SIG or available on  various  bbs 
        systems:

        516 334 8221 (1200 baud) No registration required for DOWNLOADING.


        SPL is also available as volume 666 from PCSIG 800 245 6717.

        If  you  have any questions you may call me at 516-694-5872  from 
        Monday thru Friday from 10:00 am to 6:30 pm New York time.

         
        Some major features and advantages of SPL
         
        o SPL is an alternative to the PASCAL and C languages

        o SPL programs can be run on MACINTOSH,AMIGA,ATARI ST,CP/M

        o The SPL processor will run on MSDOS emulators on MACINTOSH,
          AMIGA,ATARI ST

        o PROCEDURES

        o WHILE loops

        o FOR loops with REAL and INTEGER indicies and increments

        o REPEAT loops

        o Powerful IF THEN ELSE constructs

        o Powerful RANDOM and SEQUENTIAL INPUT/OUTPUT including
          formatted OUTPUT

        o GRAPHICS statements PSET DRAW LINE CIRCLE PRESET SCREEN .....

        o BEGIN END blocks


                                        1









        o ERROR trapping

        o Statement labels (multiple labels supported)

        o Strong data types INTEGER REAL STRING scalars and arrays

        o Names of variables and labels up to 40 characters upper and
          lower case

        o Supports mathematical functions SIN COS TAN LOG EXP .....

        o STRING functions MID$ LEFT$ RIGHT$ STR$ VAL$ ASC$ .....

        o Your compiled BASIC programs do not become obsolete link
          them together

        o SPL programs run faster than PASCAL programs

        o SPL programs can take advantage of an entire 640k IBM PC

        o The SPL processor will work on an IBM PCjr with 128k and
          1 drive
