 So, there is the answer to AmigaBASIC problems: get a compiler! :-)

I use the Absoft compiler, it is older and maybe not as nice as the HiSoft,
but I haven't had any problems with the upgraded version (I forgot what
version I have, but it fixed the bugs in the original release).

I am looking for a compiler that is closer to QuickBASIC 4.0 (or 4.5), to
port a medium sized MS-DOS program. The last time I looked, the HiSoft
compiler was compatible with QuickBASIC 3.0. I need some of the features
of 4.0, like fully recursive subroutines, proper functions, and the new
binary file mode.

Does anyone know if there is (or is about to be) a compiler that will
support these?
