Why use a Modular BCX?

[John Jacques]

Why? Because the translation from basic to C is much faster.

1) The "RunTimeFunctions" which are the bases of BCX basic, are
precompiled
as a library or DLL file. In the normal case a static .lib file. They
do not
get recompiled. Of course in the future we will actually have each
function
as individual object (.obj) files to be linked so that the executable
is
smaller.
2) The RunTimeFunctions support code is removed, TONS and TONS of code
has
been removed from the main parser. This makes the code shorter and
sweeter
:) Easier to understand and maintain.

3) This site allows us to reproduce our previous results of the old
BCXLIB
project while allowing it to live on when we slow down or leave.

4) It's fun! Will be more easily ported to other OS.
