	Shall we start a "My basic is better that your basic" war?
	I hope we can all agree their are good features in both.
	Personally I think AbasiC is a much worse that Amigabasic.
	It does take getting use to, but I've written programs in
	excess of 40K with Amigabasic and had no problems.

	My real love of basics is Microsofts Quickbasic 4.0 which
	was just released.  The best of an interpreter and compilier.
	I hope it will come out for the amiga someday.  It produces
	a standalone executable that runs faster than anything yet
	I've used in a compiled basic (including True Basic).
