HERE IS A * VERY GOOD BASIC * COMPILER TO CROSS-COMPARE

ME,

Here is a very good BASIC compiler to cross-compare your product with.

You can download the manual and see some very good ideas that should be implimented in the ME product.

Particularly in the math and string areas. But there are other things as well.

Bloatware. Spendware.
This is a single board computer with extraordinary features, and even more impressive prices. It's beyond the wildest expectations of beginners starting out and middle-post designers seeking a value package to roll their own professional design. It looks like it comes with a loooong learning curve.

I had a look at the command list of their Tiger Basic 5. Yee, gods! There are five ways to do output, which can be going to a printer, a variable, external memory, or a bagel toaster...your choice. This is vast amounts of overkill. However, if you seek the iron clad, nitpicking complexity and controllability of Unix, you got it.

In all fairness, the hardware features mix is quite impressive. This could easily be the core of a very complex control/communications package. They have three versions of the 'Tiger' board, all well stuffed. It's worth checking out just to get an idea of what high end elegant design looks like.

'too rich for this boy!
