it would be a coooool idea to make an in-line basic compiler... I've stepped through the parsing of BASIC and it takes soooooooo long. e.g. just finding the instruction for say, MID$ takes zillions of cycles. But the actual command is quite simple. So just keeping track of the parsing would make it sooo much better. There are lots of other things to do as well.... but overall I think TRSI has an even better appraoch... you ahve to write Pascal, but you can target C64 hardware quite effiently!
