After I got the tokenizer working the first thing I did was implement "PRINT" and "GOTO". Specifically so that I could write: 10 PRINT "STEVE IS AWESOME!"

After I got the tokenizer working the first thing I did was implement "PRINT" and "GOTO". Specifically so that I could write: 10 PRINT "STEVE IS AWESOME!" 20 GOTO 10 Everything else was added after that, which is why the PRINT function is the oldest and worst code (until this evening).

I still have a BBC basic re-implementation in C floating around here, code written in 1989, would that help you? If so I'll be happy to tar it up and send it to you.

  I think seeing the code would be interesting, not just for me but for others too.

    Where should I mail the archive?
    - stevekemp 8y ago
      Ideally post to github so everbody can read. But failing that my domain is steve.fi, and my email address is steve@.

        I do not do github, but I will mail you the archive later today when I am behind my desk again.
