Does anyone know of a compiler for basic that is compatible with MBASIC on the ROBIN? (even a <Host> basic would be interesting) Thanks, Rick --------

From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE@mit-mc> Workman and Associates 112 Marion Ave Pasadena CA 91106 213-796-4401 Have a test version of a MBASIC compiler that will be sold for considerably under $100. I haven't seen IT, but I have seen code from the chap who wrote it, and he does good stuff. It may not be fast, but I'm told it will produce very tight ASM (8080) code you can then hack yourself if it ain't fast enough. Will revierw it in upcoming BYTE but pipeline is 4 months long...
