 This is the only area where I've been able to find fault with Abacus..usually
they're cooperative (at least the tech support guys know their stuff..well,
most of them)..but they've let the stash/fetch bug sit and fester.

 As far as I know, BLITZ! 128 from Skyles Electric Works is able to handle
all of the tokens for basic 7.0..I'd verify this if I were you tho..their info
is:

	Skyles Electric Works
	231-E South Whisman Road
	Mountain View, CA 94041
	(800)/227-9998 (or in CA 415/965-1735)

 I've used both compilers, and as far as speed is concerned, I like Abacus'
package better ('sides, I rarely if ever do stash/fetch from basic, compiled
or no)..
