  • Good port of BBC Basic with limitations

    The BBC Basic implementation is very close to other versions created by this author. Unfortunately the main functions like displaying folders and files and editing etc. are very rudimentary. The virtual keyboard has no extensions for making editing easier.
    I was not able to create folders and files either.
    Overall a good start and look forward to future releases.
