# TIMACHINE

Floating-point BASIC compiler that can obtain the speed of an integer compiler when doing operations that don’t require the complexities of floating-point arithmetic. Can compile almost all of BASIC into fast machine code; handles user-defined functions, two-dimensional numeric, and string arrays.
