  GFA BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GFA BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language, by Frank Ostrowski.
GFA BASIC (as of version 2.0, the most popular one) was, by the standards of its time, a very modern programming language.
GFA is an acronym for "Gesellschaft für Automatisierung" i.e.

 GFA Basic
GFA BASIC also includes commands for sound, manipulation of files and directories (Folders), Trace debugging, and some math functions (such as ADD) which are much faster than the (also supported) operators +, -, etc. The EXEC command loads and executes machine code programs.
GFA does a good job of bit-blitting (moving blocks of bits around the screen, usually for animation), with both built-in commands and GEM's Bitblt.
The organization of the manual left a lot to be desired, since basic information such as variable types was left to the appendices at the end, while other subjects, like arrays, were never mentioned at all.

 GFA BASIC Printer Driver
The GFA BASIC Printer Driver has all of the features of the "professional" driver utility, but is far easier to use.
GFA BASIC Printer Driver was written in GFA BASIC 2.0 and runs in either medium or high resolution.
When GFA BASIC Printer Driver is first run, it creates the configuration file with the current drive and decimal display as defaults.

GFA is responsible to CASA for the safe conduct of gliding operations in Australia.
GFA is responsible for the establishment of certificates which are regarded highly enough for CASA and the aviation industry to be considered a substitute for licensing.
The GFA has established three levels of pilot certificate, known as A,B and C. Their purpose is to progressively build up pilot ability and confidence, offering the developed pilot more privileges as experience increases.

GFA missionaries are now providing pure water, food, clothing, medical care and emotional counseling for these children-and sharing the love of Jesus with them as well.
In the weeks and months to come, GFA workers will seek to find homes for these children with their extended family members or well-run orphanages.
GFA President K.P. Yohannan, visiting the devastated Sri Lanka beaches, said the destruction is much worse than anything the television cameras have presented to the public.

If BASIC stored the number 123 in memory and passed that address, a subprogram that changed its incoming parameter would change the number when it is used in other places in your program.
In that case BASIC first copies the fixed-length string to a regular string, passes the copy to the routine, makes the call, copies the data back in case the routine changed it, and finally erases the temporary string.
BASIC is the language I choose whenever I have to finish a project the same day I start it.

 Simple Confusion
I used to write a lot of programs when I was younger, using GFA Basic for the Atari ST. I have tried a few basics for the PC, including writing quite a few things with DarkBasic, but until now have not found a basic I am happy with.
Ok, I am way out of practise and I realise I may be missing the most basic (excuse the pun) and obvios error, but I quickly typed in the first ever program I ever copied out of a book way back in 1982 into a BBC micro.
It took many years until I found Blitz for the PC that I found as comfortable as GFA on the ST. Even GFA on the PC wasn't satisfying for me, at least not the earlier versions, and the later versions became pretty expensive.

Code folding back in the Atari ST/GFA Basic days was a godsend because BASIC didn't have even a hint of any object-oriented constructs.
