   That program would take all the plain DOS/Basic code, it just added   
   a lot of extra commands it would accept if you chose to learn them,   
   and gave the option of using line numbers or not..  It was built in   
   that once you finished and tested the program it could just be saved   
   as a stand alone EXE.   
      
   That made it a lot easier for me to sell software I wrote back then   
   without me having to learn a fancier programming language..
