WANTED: someone to transfer IBM 5110 BASIC programs to modern PC

In fact, the BASIC interpreter of the 5110 is written in System/3 code which is interpreted by a subset System/3 emulator written in PALM (the native 5110 processor) assembly. One feature of this BASIC is matrix operations. It took me a long time to actually prove that the 5110 BASIC is in System/3 code; the APL interpreter is System/360 code. BTW the /360 emulator supports quite a lot of features (not all, of course). I have partially disassembled the /3 and the /360 emulators and found out that there are hooks to execute own code from RWS! So in theory you can write /360 programs on the 5110, I just don't know how to do that yet. For the curious the file aplros.asm (the /360 emulator disassembly) is on the FTP server now. Christian
