The most absolute way to ensure old machine simulators
live on is by
developing a human-understable pseudo-programming language that's based on
logic flow diagrams, then converting all the simulators into this
language, then getting it standardized, then fending off all the microsoft
"improvements", then suing them for corrupting the language...
Or just write them in BASIC. Everyone knows BASIC, and despite best
efforts, its not going away.
I would pick ANSI C. It is not going away either, has a formal standard,
and if coded properly (not straying from the ANSI standard), will be
portable.
BASIC RULES!
What are the BASIC rules?
