BASCOM AVR Basic Compiler

Due to the good feeling on the "BASCOM 8051 Basic Compiler", once I try to use ATMEL AVR (ATmega & ATTiny), I start from this "BASCOM AVR Basic Compiler".

Comment = VERY VERY Good!!!

Key Benefits

Structured BASIC with labels.
Structured programming with IF-THEN-ELSE-END IF, DO-LOOP, WHILE-WEND, SELECT- CASE.
Fast machine code instead of interpreted code.
Variables and labels can be as long as 32 characters.
Bit, Byte, Integer, Word, Long, Single, Double and String variables.
Large set of Trig Floating point functions. Date & Time calculation functions.
Compiled programs work with all AVR microprocessors that have internal memory.
Statements are highly compatible with Microsoft’s VB/QB.
Special commands for LCD-displays , I2C chips and 1WIRE chips, PC keyboad, matrix keyboad, RC5 reception, software UART, SPI , graphical LCD, send IR RC5, RC6 or Sony code. TCP/IP with W3100A chip.
Local variables, user functions, library support.
Integrated terminal emulator with download option..
Integrated simulator for testing.
Integrated ISP programmer (application note AVR910.ASM).
Integrated STK200 programmer and STK300 programmer. Also supported is the low cost Sample Electronics programmer. Can be built in 10 minutes! Many other programmers supported via the Universal Interface.
Editor with statement highlighting.
Context sensitive help.
Perfectly matches the DT006 SimmStick from Dontronics and the MAVRIC and the M128 REV B from BDMICRO.
DEMO version compiles 2KB of code. Well suited for the AT90S2313.
English an German Books available
Special tcp/ip library, AT mouse simulator, AT keyboard simulator available as add on.
The following statements are supported (actually there are many more look in the helpfile):
Decision and structuresIF, THEN, ELSE, ELSEIF, END IF, DO, LOOP, WHILE, WEND, UNTIL, EXIT DO, EXIT WHILE, FOR, NEXT, TO, STEP, EXIT FOR, ON .. GOTO/GOSUB, SELECT, CASE.

Compiler directives$INCLUDE, $BAUD and $CRYSTAL, $SERIALINPUT, $SERIALOUTPUT, $RAMSIZE, $RAMSTART, $DEFAULT XRAM, $ASM-$END ASM, $LCD, $EXTERNAL, $LIB.
String manipulationSTRING, SPACE, LEFT, RIGHT, MID, VAL, HEXVAL, LEN, STR, HEX, LTRIM, RTRIM, TRIM, LCASE, UCASE, FORMAT, FUSING, INSTR.
And many other functions, statements and directives
To make a program takes just a few steps :
Write the program in BASIC
Compile it to fast machine binary code
Test the result with the integrated simulator(with additional hardware you can simulate the hardware too).
Program the chip with one of the integrated programmers.(hardware must be purchased separately)
