Thats a bit advanced (compilers)

Lets not forget BASCOM the Microsoft distributed basic compiler. We had large
basic applications and before the compiler we actually wrote a program that
would 'rewrite' our code to put all the subroutines at the start of the
application. This helped execution time Immensely when using the interpreter.

NOTE: The release dates shown above are taken from the following files on the
product distribution disks: the BC.EXE compiler file from versions 6.00, 6.00b,
7.00, and 7.10 and the BASCOM.EXE compiler file from versions 5.35 and 5.36.

DataBASIC

Pick dates from about 1967 and was programmed in Pick Assembler.

I'm not sure whether DataBASIC came originally from DataComm (doubt it), but I
suspect it was around by the early seventies. It certainly wasn't there
originally, but probably came from one of the other Pick-like systems that
appeared early seventies.

Cheers,
Wol
