Readme
This is a BASIC interpreter for an old dialect of the language used in early IBM PCs. It is written in Python. I wrote this over a weekend to be able to run old MININEC_ code (the linked version of MININEC_ contains some small fixes). It has almost no error checking (it relies on the code being correct not trying to aid you in writing a new program in BASIC, I think the world does not need new code in BASIC). If you're looking for a working BASIC interpreter, look at the pcbasic_ implementation, it is also in Python but faithfully reproduces the memory limitations of the machines at the time. And it seems to use single-precision floating point numbers. This is why I wrote my own interpreter: I needed to compare computations in double precision and I could not fit some examples into the limited memory of pcbasic_.
I'm probably not going to put much work into improving this code, it has achieved the purpose: Running (and debugging in Python) old MININEC_ code to allow me to compare the computations in BASIC to my re-implementation of MININEC_ in Python, pymininec_.
