batari Basic (bB) is a BASIC-like language for creating Atari 2600 games.
It is a compiled language that runs on a computer, and it creates a binary
file that can be run on an Atari 2600 emulator or the binary file may be
used to make a cartridge that will operate on a real Atari 2600.

This is version 1.0.  Although this version is expected to be much more
reliable than the various alpha and beta builds were released since July,
2005, it likely contains bugs.  If you find any bugs, please report them to
me by posting on the Atari 2600 Basic forum on Atariage, or by emailing me
at c9r@hotmail.com.  If you send email, please include "batari" somewhere
in the subject line.

If there are a great deal of nasty bugs, a maintenance version may be
released soon, so periodically check the batari Basic website for updates.

To learn how to use Batari Basic, please refer to the tutorials, the
command reference (commands.html) and the example programs, all included in
this release.
