# BASIC CPORT – A Review

Up until now it has been “long time no C” for SuperBASIC programmers. But now through the aid of CPORT, SuperBASIC programmers can convert their code to C and take advantage of the speed and enhanced performance of compiled code.

CPORT was developed by Charles Dillon, and sells for $179.00 U.S. Distribution is through Digital Precision in the U.K., and Mechanical Affinity in the U.S. This program comes on a single disk with a seven page manual. Two other items required but not included are: a text editor, and the C68 compiler.
