Well, it is not a compiler, but VBASIC by Dr. Verts does remove the need for line numbers. It runs in the Model Ts and it can also eliminate line numbers in GWBASIC. Some time ago I posted it in our Member Pages:

But, yes, a true “a structured BASIC to Microsoft BASIC compiler” would be very nice. Bob From: M100 [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John R.

Then you could use functions / procedures, long names, no line numbers and have the converter manage that ugly stuff. Would be easier to write than a full compiler. — John
