Subject: Re: New-fangled languages (was: BASIC
Line numbers were only "needed" when you
didn't have an editor, they
gave one the ability to replace lines in place by reusing their line
numbers. It was quite elegant actually. If you edit your BASIC source
code separately you only need targets for GOTO and GOSUB commands (which
can be numbers or in cases like AmigaBASIC letters). I wrote a version
of BASIC in Java that closely models BASIC-80 (aka Microsoft BASIC) and
its available on my web site (and in a web browser window if you're
patient.)
