version 5 0 original author dave visti developer 80 20 software 1 release before 1993 2 final release 5 00 1994 32 years ago 1994 written in x86 assembly turbo c operating system ms dos type basic license shareware asic is a compiler and integrated development environment for a subset of the basic programming language it was released for ms dos and compatible systems as shareware written by dave visti of 80 20 software it was one of the few basic compilers legally available for download from bbses asic allows compiling to an exe or com file a com file for the hello world program is 360 bytes 3 asic has little or no support for logical operators control structures 4 and floating point arithmetic these shortcomings resulted in the tongue in cheek motto asic it s almost basic 5 3 features edit asic is strongly impoverished in comparison with its contemporary basics the features of asic are selected to make a program be easily and directly compiled into machine language thus many language constructs of asic are equivalent to constructs of assembly language program elements edit neither identifiers nor keywords are case sensitive any dim statements if specified must precede all other statements except rem statements or blank lines all data statements must be placed at the beginning of the program before all other statement types except dim rem statements or blank lines expressions edit asic does not have the exponentiation operator asic does not have boolean operators and or not etc arrays edit the size of array specified in the dim statement must be a literal constant a single dim allows declaring only one array input and output edit print s arguments must be a literal or variable print does not allow combined expressions as its arguments nor strings concatenated with or if a print command ends with or then the next print command will resume in the position where this one left off just as though its argument were appended to the argument of the current print command the print statement prints integer values six characters wide they are aligned to the right no trailing spaces locate row column moves the text cursor to the position column row where 0 column and 0 row the position 0 0 is the upper left corner graphics edit pset row column color turns on the pixel of the color color at position column row where 0 column and 0 row the position 0 0 is the upper left corner control structures edit a boolean condition may be only a comparison of numbers or strings but not a comparison of combined expressions a literal cannot be the left operand of comparison e g can be x 2 not 2 x decisions edit after then there may be a sequence of statements delimited by else or endif an example if x 0 then print negative else print non negative endif contrary to other basics statements cannot be put between then and the end of the line an if statement can realize the conditional jump in this case after then there may be a label looping edit in for after to there may be only a number literal or variable but not a combined expression the step clause does not exist in asic branching edit in a goto statement the label must be followed by a colon subroutines edit in a gosub statement the label must be followed by a colon bas2asi edit this utility serving to convert gw basic programs to asic syntax in the version 5 0 does not support some gw basic features examples step in the for loop is not converted the program 10 for i 10 to 1 step 1 20 print i 30 next i is converted into rem 10 for i 10 to 1 step 1 for i 10 to 1 asic0 1 1 i i asic0 rem 20 print i print i rem 30 next i rem 30 next i 3 syntax error the exponentiation operator is not converted the program 10 a 2 20 b a 10 30 print b is converted into rem 10 a 2 l10 a 2 rem 20 b a 10 2 syntax error rem 30 print b rem 30 print b 3 syntax error references edit ibrary library for the asic compiler current version 3 1 david a visti catalog updated february 1 1996 charon software asic 4 0 download 1 2 asic area code magic with ac hunter computer program on disk evaluation by george campbell compute issue 126 february 1991 page 86 in asic 3 01 1991 the manual lists for next while wend and if endif but no switch statements and no functions or procedures with parameters or local variables only gosub for subroutines the example programs use goto instead of while asic is the work of david visti and his compiler takes code that is almost basic and compiles it down to a very small executable archived november 4 2015 at the wayback machine programmer s
