All,
I think A good write up of this needs to exist.
if someone would care to write it up and provide some graphics and pictures
and advertisements please sent to info(a)smecc.org and I will find a place
for it on the web site... it is indeed unique...
Well, Kees immediately slapped me in the face while saying "bad info" :)
(hey, I was a bit too young at the time, gimme a break ;-)
Anyway. It was in the Dutch "tech" programme "Hobbyscoop" that the
first trials were sent out. Later, things were changed, the general
BASIC-level interoperability was added, and it became BASICode.
There's an (English) web page on the subject at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~lennartb/basicode.html
Theres some historical info about the project on Hobbyscoop's site
as well:

So there! :)
