  10. TsrBasic lets you write Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs in   
  11. BASIC. It supports both pop up applications that are recalled with a    
  12. user defined hotkey sequence and background tasks that are recalled     
  13. after a specified period of time has elapsed. The entire interpreter can
  14. be recalled as well, giving you a powerful programmable calculator at   
  15. your fingertips.                                                        
  16.                                                                         
  17. TsrBasic simplifies BASIC programming by relaxing data type checking    
  18. restrictions. This means you do not have to use special suffixes like $ 
  19. and # to specify the type of data a variable will hold. Any variable can
  20. hold any type of data, either textual or numeric. Conversions are       
  21. performed when necessary.                                               
  22.                                                                         
  23. Structured programming is a snap with TsrBasic's IF...THEN...ELSE...END 
  24. IF statement, which supports multiline THEN and ELSE clauses and nested 
  25. IF's. The conventional form of the IF...THEN...ELSE statement is        
  26. supported as well.                                                      
  27.                                                                         
  28. TsrBasic's powerful screen handling functions let you select video      
  29. attributes, define text windows for input and output, and save and      
  30. restore portions of the screen. TsrBasic supports direct video access   
  31. for speed or ROM-BIOS/DOS mode for compatibility with nonstandard video 
  32. adapters.                                                               
  33.                                                                         
  34. TsrBasic lets you execute the contents of a character string so that    
  35. you can evaluate arithmetic expressions on the fly. You can also use    
  36. this feature to construct powerful user defined functions.              
  37.                                                                         
  38. TsrBasic compiles your program into intermediate code and interprets the
  39. intermediate code. This results in fast and efficient program           
  40. execution. You can display the intermediate code if you wish. TsrBasic  
  41. also lets you convert your BASIC program into an executable (.exe) file 
  42. that can be invoked from DOS.
