BASICA is not a shareware compiler.  It is an interpreter that requires
IBM BASIC to be present in ROM.  You are probably thinking of ASIC, which
is a scaled-down version of BASIC (no floating point, no LEFT$ or RIGHT$
-- though there is MID$ which can be used as a substitute).  It's a nice
product and produces very small and fast executables.
