Omikron Basic is a versatile and easy to learn programming language
delivering the true BASIC look and feel even while running under
modern operating systems.
- Most Omikron Basic applications do not require internal knowledge of
the Macintosh operating system.
- No complex project definitions, no runtime libraries. Simply open a
program window and start to write your program.
- The super speedy compiler/debugger allows an immediate testing of
the programs.
- Omikron Basic generates extremely fast and compact PowerPC code.
Small programs remain small after compiling them.
- Modular programming with procedures and functions.
- Recursive programming due to local and global variables.
- Indirect addressing (same as with C) with pointer and address
operators.
