| | 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. |
