Sorry to all of you that have replied to me that "BASCOM" is indeed Microsoft's name for their "real-honest-to-goodness" compiled BASIC. What I meant in my previous article was that there was/is a product (available from BYTE I think) that had a name similar (if not) "bascom" --maybe it was basIcom. Anyway, it WAS a pseudo-compiled BASIC. I believe it pre-dated Microsoft's, but probably never got any where since it wasn't that great a product. Anyway, my article meant to say that there was BOTH of these products. Larry Marek ...ihuxf!larry
