Microsoft BASIC Compiler

Microsoft BASIC Compiler is a one-pass compiler which produces extremely efficient, optimized machine code in standard Microsoft relocatable binary format. Compiled BASIC programs can be link loaded with Microsoft FORTRAN (L028), COBOL (L029), and assembly language programs. The compile and link phases have been optimized for speed of program development while code generation has been optimized for compactness and speed of execution. The compiler processes source files at approximately 20 lines per second.\n\nOriginal retail price: $395 (Westico Professional CP/M Software Catalog for ADAM, 1984)
