- Description:
-
- MakeApp2 converts a Basic program to a file of type Absolute (&ff8)
- which can be run just like the original program. The converted program
- has a couple of advantags:
- * It is a bit safer against unwanted copying and modification, because it
- isn't easily recognizable as a Basic program. But, more importantly,
- * It can be treated by compression programs such as Acorn's 'squeeze', or
- !Crunch (by BASS). These make it much smaller, up to 50%. You save disc
- space and loading time, and the compression makes it fully incomprehensible.
- (Note, however, that it makes no difference for the execution speed. To make
- your program run faster, use a Basic cruncher.)
