 iziBasic is a shareware program with a very reasonable price of $25.



Overview
--------

iziBasic stands for easy Basic for Palm. It targets all kinds of 
developers and should be a very good tool for newbee programmers. 
Skilled programmers will also find in iziBasic a tool to develop very 
quickly and easily various types of software.
iziBasic is a high level development compiler which builds Stand-alone 
applications. The great thing is that it does all of that directly 
on-board of your Palm OS based device. 
Source codes are easily written using:
- either the Memo Pad application which is shipped with all Palm OS 
devices,
- or an on-board third party DOC editor of your choice.
As its name also states it, iziBasic uses the BASIC high level and very
easy to learn development language, a customized subset of it to be 
precise. You will discover how easy and quick it is to develop software 
with iziBasic when the more common development tools available on the 
Palm OS platform usually require pretty good development skills.

How to install iziBasic?
------------------------

Minimum Palm OS requirement is version 3.0 with 2 MB of RAM.

iziBasic is Palm OS v5 compliant.

If you have the trial version of iziBasic please install this file:
  iziBasic_trial.PRC
If you have the full version of iziBasic please install this file:
  iziBasic_full.PRC

iziBasic is a PRC file that is installed like any other Palm OS file 
using HotSync. So, extract iziBasic_full.PRC or iziBasic_trial.PRC 
from the ZIP archive file. Double-click on it and the Palm install tool 
will popup. iziBasic_full.PRC (or iziBasic_trial.PRC) will be transferred
to your Palm device next time you synchronize your device with your PC 
with HotSync.



Limitations of the unregistered version of iziBasic
---------------------------------------------------

The limitations of the trial version are very light, so as not to stop 
you from using iziBasic if you like it and cannot afford to buy it.
For instance, there is no time limit and you can very well use iziBasic
without any time restriction.
But you are encouraged to support this shareware and buy it.
The limitations are:
- A nag screen to remind you to buy the full version
- Some functionalities are not activated (a few instructions and statements)
- The About box in your programs tells that your software was made with iziBasic
