According to Acornsoft, Comal is "the internationally approved educational microcomputer language". It was chosen by Ireland, Denmark and Sweden as their official secondary school programming language. Comal was designed to combine the simplicity and ease of use of Basic with the power and structure of Pascal. In practice it's very similar to BBC Basic, with the added advantage of syntax error trapping on line entry (like Sinclair Basic) and structure checking before programs are executed. It's ROM-based, and an extra 440 page user guide costs £10.00.
