I was wondering if anyone was going to point this out. What Billy did do was develop the 4K BASIC interpreter which was used on many popular micros at the time (Commodore,Tandy,Atari,etc.)
And we should also point out that he developed Altair BASIC on Harvard computers, even though those computers were not supposed to be used for commercial purposes. Also BG, who also accused others of stealing a tape of BASIC, made a habit of dumpster diving, to "borrow" code from others. Once he had one BASIC it wasn't a lot more work to port it to different systems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
