Welcome to XC=BASIC 3

XC=BASIC is a cross compiled, modern BASIC programming language for 8-bit Commodore machines, such as

Commodore-64
Commodore VIC-20
Commodore-16
Commodore Plus/4
Commodore-128
Commodore PET series

It compiles BASIC source code to fast machine code. Although not 100% compatible, its syntax was designed to be similar to that of QuickBASIC and CBM BASIC.
