- ACE 2.3 FreeWare Amiga BASIC compiler + extras
-
- ACE is a FreeWare Amiga BASIC compiler which, in conjunction with A68K
- and Blink produces standalone executables.
-
- The language defines a large subset of AmigaBASIC but also has many
- features not found in the latter such as: turtle graphics, recursion,
- SUBs with return values, structures, arguments, include files, a
- better WAVE command which allows for large waveforms, external
- references, named constants and a variety of other commands and
- functions not found in AmigaBASIC.
-
- New features in version 2.0 include: gadgets, three standard requester
- types, serial I/O and menus (with optional command-keys for menu
- items). New commands and functions for this version include EXIT FOR,
- PTAB, SPC, DEF FN, ON ERROR and ERR (these last two handle file and
- serial I/O at present). INPUT and PRINT can now be used transparently
- for all screen/window combinations.
-
- All user-defined windows are now fully-configurable and may be used in
- conjunction with screens as per AmigaBASIC. Window close event
- trapping is also a new feature.
-
- In addition to event trapping, ACE now supports WAITing for both menus
- and gadgets. Waiting is more operating-system-friendly than event
- trapping.
-
- A simple graphical front-end (Integrated Development Environment) is
- also provided with the archive. This is written in ACE.
