Sorry I don't know any other BASICs in MSX than BASIC 2. Is there a
BASIC like this GFA? If it exists, has the same memory limit than BASIC 2?

I think that RS232 is programmed via ports, so the language only has to
support port access. The programming of RS232 is just making a little
library.

What kind of work are you doing with that MC?

Of course. In the page 0 there will be the 256 bytes used by the
system, and in page 3 there will be the dos work zone.
For executing a compilated program first a little program is
executed. It remains in page 0 and has general routines (it lets the
remaining of page 0 for the stack) Then the compilated program is loaded
in mapped memory, and starts its execution.
This means that the compilated program (object file if you want)
can be any long, and it can be executed if yor computer has enough
memory.

Yes, I'm a C maniac : ) In fact, i want to make possible
dynamic memory (one of the best carachteristics of high level languages)
in the BASIC compiler, but I don't know how to implement it. Does
anybody knows?
well thats all thanks a lot and continue writing!
