GFA Basic is a very good product. It isn't a basic compiler, but it is
fast like one. The running speed is in some cases faster than the speed
of programs written in Aztec or Lattice C. The syntax of GFA Basic is
not compatible with Basica/GW-Basic/AmigaBasic but GFA Basic has it
own very fast editor with syntax checking an automatically structured
programming. It needs only one look at GFA Basic to see that it is the
BEST basic one can get!

P.S: The current GFA Basic release is V3.03.
