Only text modes are supported, support for ARM assembly.
Features
- It is a structured Basic with a full range of statement types such as WHILE and REPEAT loops, a block IF statement and a CASE statement.
- It has procedures and multi-line functions which can have local variables and arrays.
- It has 'indirection operators' which allow data structures to be constructed and manipulated. Memory can be allocated from the Basic heap that can be referenced using these operators.

- Speed: the interpreter is very fast.
