CompSci for Today

10 FOR I = 1 to 100
20 PRINT "Hello World!"; I
30 NEXT
40 END

That was the first AppleBasic program that I have written in over a decade! If you want to play around with AppleBasic, you can go here for an emulator that was written in, of all things, Javascript! http://www.calormen.com/Applesoft/

Thanx [livejournal.com profile] syreene for the link!

What I used to run was the Commodore 64 ... now that is ancient.

What I did in Commodore Basic was to create an APL characters set and an APL terminal. It worked, but probably would have gagged if the line-speed had exceeded 300 bps (which was all the modem was capable of).

Since I am no longer connecting to a mainframe, that is moot now. Besides, it should be easy to run an APL interpreter on a PC, at least in principle.
