  While it's possible that DEC BASIC was an early
adopter
 of incremental compilation techniques, I don't think so...
 I'm pretty sure DEC BASIC is a simple interpreter. I guess
 I should look at the source... 
Could be.  Not having used DEC BASIC, myself, I'm not sure :)

I am sure that Turbo Basic was a compiler.
