Actually, I had a "Basic Compiler" for the Atari800 way back. It took
regular atari basic code and produced *something* that ran without the
basic cart at a few times faster speed. It had an integer only option
that treated all variables as 16bit ints and ran about 10x faster
than plain interpreted basic. Was it really a compiler - I dunno.

Be careful what you wish for.
