- tpmx 6y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC-PLUS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC-PLUS > Microsoft BASIC was patterned very closely on BASIC-PLUS. [...] The ability to place logical and loop commands in-line, like I = I + 1 UNTIL I = 10 was not copied over and does not appear on any common version of microcomputer BASIC. MS BASIC also lacked the matrix commands.
- WalterBright 6y agoThe article makes an intellectual stretch from dumpster diving and seeing listings for a 36 bit PDP-10 mainframe BASIC and then years later implementing a BASIC interpreter for the 8 bit Altair 8080. I seriously doubt you'd find any copyrighted commonality in the implementation.
