   The old CLIPPER COMPILER for Dbase simply grabbed everything up and
   wrapped it with the interpreter and called it an EXE file.
   Then, remember the $495 "uncompilers" that would give back the
   SOURCE CODE for any CLIPPER compiled EXE files?  That's how they
   did it so easily
   A true compiler produces machine code.  They question is how
   efficient is that code, and PowerBasic does a damned fine job. ;-)
