I have used three different basic compilers, including the ABC compiler and
Turbo.  The turbo compiler is by far the best.  It runs the standard atari
basic, isn't limited to only integer numbers, and has extra commands not in
Atari basic.  A really nice program.  It is also public domain (Free).  The
documentation is also a text file that can be sent along with the program.  One
catch, the compiler was written in Germany and the commands are in German.  I
revised my copy so the commands are in English, but the responses are still in
German.  (J/N vs Y/N)  Tough, but most technical people can handle it.  Let me
know if you would like a copy.
