If I understand the above sentence correctly - I will have a look
shortly. The docs were on paper so I will have to make a copy for you
(yes, they are quite important if you want to get the best out of the
compiler) but the software I can probably send you even earlier.

AFAIR all the others mentioned here weren't really compiling BASIC into
machine code but rather into so-called "speedcodes". This (AFAIR again)
was something like calling BASIC routines for the given keywords rather
than having the interpreter to read and interpret the tokens.
Corrections to the above, anyone?
There was one more that was able to compile BASIC into ML but I forgot
its name now - especially that it had two different names for different
markets and wasn't that efficient as Basic Boss. Will check that one
too.
