BOS_to_BASM is a TA Script compiler. 

- To compile a .BOS file, drop it onto exe
- All TA script syntax should be supported.
- Any errors are printed just before the offending statement, and then again at the bottem of the .BASM file with a line number. Got to this line number to find the actual error.
- Outputs the pre-processor output to a seperate file (It is exactly how the compiler sees it) (Extension .PREBASM)
- Native ouput is a stack based asm, with the extension .BASM. If it has no errors it is sent to basm.exe to be compiled to a COB
- Uses Mafia's BASM.exe to translate a .BASM file to a COB
- basm.exe outputs errors to a fixed file. BOS_to_BASM will catch these are rename it with the format  "<filename>_BASM_errors.txt".
- All output is in the same directory as the .BOS file.
- Allows the direct inlining of .BASM into .BOS files. The syntax is: "basm { ... }"
- Named constant support! It is recommented that named constants are used instead of #define's
Can be included in functions or not.
The syntax: "const a = 1, b = a+<2>;" Now correctly handled.

- Enhanced "EXPTYPE.H" & "SFXTYPE.H" which use named constants instead of #defines. (In the AlternativeIncludes sub-folder). To activate add ";AlternativeIncludes\" before "Includes\" in the include path in the ini file.

- All settings are read out of an ini file. This Ini file must have the same name as the exe, but with a '.ini' extension.

- Converted a bunch of global defines to a bunch of named constants (better error reporting)

v0.7:
- Hexadecimal support now works
- Fixed bug in how constant numbers were generated in basm

v0.6:
- Updated the version of basm.exe used
- Fixed bug in how the Bitwise And opcode was generated
- Changed the keywork 'basm' to '__basm'

v0.5:
- Updated the version of basm.exe used
- Fixed move now & turn now are handled.
- Fixed minor bug in the preprocessor code which caused it to fail sometimes

v0.4b:
- Fixed Named constant support.

v0.4:
- Includes a bug fix. The compiler now correctly handles the end of functions properly.
