[Coco] BASIC09 - How good is it?

[Wayne Campbell]

Basic09 compiles the source as it reads ghe sourcd file. This "hi-level" I-Code is held in the workspace. When you pack the code, it is coverted to a "lo-level" I-Code.

The biggest difference between them is the way the internal table structure looks and line references are resolved to offset addresses.

This is short story.
