Abasic does work under 1.2.  It still works better than that piece of
junk Microsoft basic.  Abasic had a hokey editor, but other than that
it is a superior product without question.  Oh, it didn't handle
sprites and Bobs.  I tried converting a big program I had written in
basic, the Lattice I got as a developer was nearly useless because
of the mind blowing compilation speed, there was no facc, vd0: or other
such things in Sept. of 85, (boy is this a run on or what), but failed
to convert it from abasic to mbasic.  There are things in mbasic that
don't work as specified.  I hate the editor also.  I gave up and went
back to abasic.
	Incidentally I haven't offered this to people on the net in a
year or so so I guess it is time.  It is an on line Rogues Gallarey for
AD&D DM's.  It works well and doesn't blow up, but I wish it did more.
It is about 30k.  If anyone wants it just send mail.  I do have good
documentation with it, but it is written in Abasic.
