Description:

BlibII is basically in two parts, a Basic linker and a Basic library.

The BlibII Linker - allows you to 'link' Basic programs with libraries of
procedures and functions. This has several advantages:  it creates a single
Basic file which can be compressed or compiled, it is smaller as only the
functions/procedures that are needed are included and it will run faster.

The BlibII Library contains quite a collection of routines to provide the
following:  Dynamic memory allocation, menu construction, template file
support, windows, events, icons and general OS stuff.  The library is intended
to be user-expandable.
