JdBP>   But if BASIC is your thing, then you should also take a look at JBA
 JdBP>   Guidelines.

Maybe you should tell him that it generates C code,  and he'll need a C compiler.

On a related note...

With all the compilers/tools you have, Jon,  do you still actively use Guidelines?

I notice that you always include a "Guidelines Support?" comment
with each compiler in your compiler review,  which I don't think is fair
--it is not up to a compiler to support Guidelines,   it is ther other way
around (and JBA's track record is dismal for supporting the current version
of compilers).

I also don't think it's fair to mention Guidelines and none of the other
1/2 dozen similar tools (I've just recently started testing Prominare
Designer,  and I think it is a lot better for me so far).

Perhaps it is not appropriate to mention any third party product when
reviewing the compilers.
