The disk are from the Polymorphic archive and
have a lot of valuable
source, manuals and binaries. As I stated earlier, there is even source
for their version of BASIC ( not MS ).
Not a big fan of BASIC, but a non-m$ one would be nice, I suppose.
Is there a TinyBASIC for 8088? I know Tom Pittman's is/was available
for 6502 and 1802 (and still is, directly from his website, IIRC).
Unless you are doing work on a small memory machine (minimally equipped
1802 or 6502 or INS8073), I don't know that TinyBASIC is an improvement
over M$ BASIC, but on a machine with 2K-4K, it's really useful.
