These programs are normally called "Compiler". There are at least two available that are directly compatible with plain AmigaBasic sources (well, except really minor changes you perhaps must apply, such as stuffing all your SUBs at the end of the code): AC/Basic by Absoft and HiSoft Basic (don't know originator). They are cute, but still have their incompatibilities and glitches (mildly speaking: AC/Basic succeded to trash two of my harddisks in only one day:-( ). There are other Basic compilers that are a little more off the language standard set by AmigaBasic: GFA-Basic, AMOS, True Basic,... (I'm sure I forgot some important one). These compilers are all commercial, they cost some $$$. I only know about one PD compiler on Fish disks, but it has only very limited capabilities, e.g. it understands only a little subset of the AmigaBasic commands. (Sorry, don't have full name or Fish disk no. at hand.) -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

If this is what are you looking for, try Cursor 1.0. It is on ff 347 and work so so (some limitations). If there is another way to transform a basic program in a binary executable, well let me know!!! :-) * Gelson Dias Santos * Bitnet/Internet: GELSON@SBU.UFRGS.ANRS.BR * * Porto Alegre - RS * Sorry, english is not my native language! * * BRAZIL * (Alguem fala portugues?) * ********************************************************************* * Should be working on my taxes but this is more fun...
