<bb>>BASICb>bb>> was intended to address the complexity issues of older languages with a new language designed specifically for the new class of users the time-sharing systems allowed — that is, a "simpler" user who was not as interested in speed as in simply being able to use the machine.

Atari <bb>>BASICb>bb>> – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Basically because of two problems – a poor implementation of line number lookups in loops and jumps, and a poor implementation of multiply and divide.
The exceptions to the rule were the most <bb>>basicb>bb>> functions of all, it assumed that either the hardware or the implementation team would provide their own versions of add, subtract, multiply and divide.
Atari <bb>>BASICb>bb>> removed this limitation, all commands could be used in immediate mode (no line numbers) or inside a program (add line numbers).

<bb>>BASICb>bb>> Compilers for the Atari

<bb>>BASICb>bb>> compilers are about to open the world of professional software development to a whole new range of talented authors.
A compiled <bb>>BASICb>bb>> program is completely self-contained; it is treated exactly like a binary DOS file and does not need the <bb>>BASICb>bb>> cartridge or any other special software to run.
Because the assembler and output files must be written onto the same disk as your <bb>>BASICb>bb>> code, you have to be sure to leave enough space for them.
