What people have to say:
LBB is a legitimate artifact. Feel free to use it if it suits your needs.
(Carl Gundel, author of Liberty BASIC)

Just want to say "thank you very much" for this program that makes a LB4 user's life easier.
(R.L., Switzerland)

It worked first time and is blisteringly fast compared with the LB version. Congratulations on a great piece of freeware.
(M.B., Cheshire)

I was amazed at how fast and comparable it was with Liberty BASIC.
(M.M., Connecticut)

Just had to say a massive thank you for LB Booster. A truly great piece of kit that I have been looking for, for about 8 years!
(C.B.)

I have tested your LB Booster and I am quite impressed with it. Excellent work.
(O.A., Turkey)

I am a Liberty BASIC user and finally I found your great program! A Liberty BASIC Compiler and Freeware! It's really awesome!
(P.S., Argentina)

I'm highly impressed with LBB. It runs a lot of my programs better than LB, to be honest.
(J.E.)

LB Booster + LB Workshop = better, easier, and more versatile IDE + faster, smaller, and more powerful applications... and it's free!
(C.U., Texas)

LB Booster is a powerful utility for Liberty BASIC and Just BASIC programmers. With LBB you can:

  • Speed up a Liberty BASIC program by up to ten times.
  • Compile a Liberty BASIC program to a compact, standalone executable.
  • Overcome many of Liberty BASIC's bugs and limitations.

You can find out more about the benefits of LBB here.

LBB is freeware: you can download it from here (the file is digitally signed to give you confidence that it is perfectly safe to run):

Download LBB.exe (521 Kb);  optional run-time engine LBBRUN.exe (161 Kb)

Create a suitable directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\LBB\) and save the LBB.exe file there. You will need administrative privileges to save the file and when you execute it for the first time (in Windows™ Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10/11 with UAC enabled use 'Run as administrator'); however it can be run from a normal user account thereafter.

You can read the full Help manual here.
