You'll prolly get lots of different answers, but I prefer AC Basic from Absoft. It's Amigabasic compatible (I think there may be a keyword or two missing, but can't remember what it is and have never run into it) and is also about 90%+ compatible with QuickBasic on the PC. AND Absoft also wrote the Microsoft Basic Compiler for the MAC. All in all, it's a very good compiler with a good manual. Highly recommended. FWIW, I've also heard good things about Hisoft Basic Compiler but ahve never used it. It's supposed to be more QuickBASIC compatible, but I understand it's less AmigaBASIC compatible. There's also GFA Basic, TrueBasic, Blitz Basic, etc. but they give up AmigaBASIC compatibility to get their whizbangs.
