After reading the instructions I would hesitate to even call this a ZX BASIC compiler. It's a different dialect of BASIC which it compiles. It would appear to me to be extremely odious trying to debug your program before compiling it. I'll take MCoder anytime.

Silversoft Compiler Examples

Here are the examples from the manual for those interested.

As a note, the BASIC it uses does not use tokens so PRINT has to be spelled out as "P R I N T" but there is one exception which isn't pointed out in the docs but is used in the examples that is <>. This should be entered at SHIFT+T, "< >" will give an error report.
