I am looking for a company that sells a BASIC compiler that is compatible with Microsoft MS BASIC. The compiler must be able to compile a statement RETURN x where x is a line number which allows effectively to pop the return stack and go to line x.

They're up to version 3.0 of the compiler, which is HFS compatable. And since I've been so nice to allow them to $25 dollar me to death for updates on the interpreter, they sent me a "limited-time" notice: for those who have interpreters, now they can get about half off (the notice is not in front of me) on Microsoft's new Basic compiler. I don't know if the new Microsoft Basic compiler does what you need, but I'd be willing to give Microsoft a call. Of course, I won't be getting it. I use basic for quick and dirty solutions, and C for application development. But others out there may actually Like basic. *shudder* - William Woody Mac! > ][n && /|\ woody@tybalt.caltech.edu woody@juliet.caltech.edu
