Kun-Basic isn't a bad program, but it has a few disadvantages, it takes a
while to compile the data every _TURBO ON (not too long btw), it doesn't
generate 'nice' .COM or .BIN-files, it doesn't support disk-acces (within
the turbo-blocks that is), it has a maximum size which is quite limited
(really long programs like those old MCM listings etc. are too long), and a
few more minor things.
