Title	BBC BASIC (Z80)
Description	This package contains a TI-83+ and TI-84+ version of Richard Russell's Z80 implementation of BBC BASIC. BBC BASIC is a fast, powerful and flexible dialect of BASIC, with support for named re-entrant procedures and functions, inline assembly routines, direct access to hardware ports and memory and a large library of built-in statements and functions. Programs can be edited on the calculator using BBC BASIC's interactive command-line or on your PC using the supplied editor (Windows/.NET) or command-line converter (Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X via Mono). A reference is included by way of documentation along with some sample programs.

This language is simply amazing when compared to the standard on TI calc's, TI-BASIC. It surprises me that this is so little known. It's syntax is very much like TI-Basic, it is just as easy to learn, but it is so much faster! To illustrate: I wrote a simple primality test in both TI-BASIC ans BBCBASIC. The result were 2 programs that looked almost exactly the same, except for the missing modulo operator in TI-BASIC that had to be worked around. Then I tested them worth with the prime number 1235321. TI-BASIC took 12.3 seconds, BBCBASIC took only 1.7 seconds! Apart from speed, BBCBASIC also features the defining of functions, a very useful missing feature of TI-BASIC. It does take longer to type on calculator, because you cannot select the commands from menus like in TI-BASIC, but it is not that much work and you get fast at typing them. You can also program it on PC if you want.
