-
- BasCompress is a BASIC V compressor and cross-referencing tool for
- programmers. It's main features are:
-
- o Throwback / DDEUtils support
- o Compresses lots of legacy code
- o Removes all unused routines, and the junk left between routines
- o Removes all constant variables, replacing use with definition
- o Removes NEXT variables
- o Slurps in all LIBRARYs
- o Saves separate compressed OVERLAY files
- o Handles line numbers
- o You can tell it which labels NOT to reduce (i.e. EVALuated vars)
- o Full cross-referencing, multi-level, multi-sort
- o It is FAST
-
- The main archive contains a ready-to-print ASCII manual (66 pages), in
- both 7-bit clean and ISO-Latin 1 formats.
-
- There is a separate manual, a 1.5Mb Impression Publisher document
- (single file format). This prefers the Monotype Baskerville font family.
-
- v1.65 is a bug-fix release from 1.60.
