this is an interesting project.  a basic dialect from the early 1980's.  which hated line numbers.  that is enough to report.  edit: this was written because i didn't read everything correctly.  still it's a refreshing departure.  from basic products.  away from "bascom" and quickbasic.

but what will be done about sound?  probably the original interpreter didn't have it as aim.  but it's somewhat frustrating.  that freebasic has made absolutely no advance on this front.  this must be only to ensure.  it works on freebsd as well as on linux.

this is not a feature request.  it's just me ranting a bit.  i like freebasic.  but not some of "design decisions."  the take on "oop" should have straight out.  included class keyword.  but now i have to mute my criticism...

### 18th Jan 2026
Merging BazzBasic and basic code into a single executable file is now possible.
_bazzbasic.exe -exe filename.bas_ produces the _filename.exe_ file.
BazzBasic does not compile the BASIC code, but rather includes it as part of itself.

so this makes it like libertybasic?  like sbcl?  nothing wrong with that.  but some people prefer small executables.  even in 2026.  even on linux and windows 64-bit.  again, i'm not making a feature request.

i'm actually angry.  because sourceforge seems to have junk servers.  refuse to let me download an iso.  for a linux distribution i've been dying to try out.  for about a month now.  i want to see the "progress" with wayland.  before i have to consider.  buying a computer "more with it" for this time.  not your fault nor anybody else on this site.  i speak my mind.
