You Have Died Of Dysentery

I went looking this morning for documentation on 80s-era Basic dialects.

I was moderately successful.

So far I've collected over 100,000 pages.

I have manuals on Microsoft Basic, Turbo Basic, HP Basic in all its forms, STOS and AMOS, Amstrad Locomotive Basic, Simons Basic for the C64, the Fujitsu FM-7's F-Basic manual (in Japanese), and literally 135 volumes of How to Write Your Own Computer Game in $WHATEVER Basic.  And Pick.

That should suffice for now.

2 I'll make it happen.  Either make it compatible enough to run, or port it across.  It's only about a thousand lines and it's pretty simple code.

Apple pies are delicious. But never mind apple pies. What colour is a green orange?
