New third party firmware (Not HP'PRIME TEAM)

It's my hobby and if other folks like the interpreter I produce, great! If not, that's OK, too. I'm not out to change the world or produce a great piece of software that will make me rich. I'm just going to write an interpreter for my own use and will freely share it with anyone interested (and foolhardy?) in BASIC. BASIC has provided me a comfortable living since 1971 and I really like it. It works the way I think (or did it form the way I think?) and there's a great nostalgia value. You can keep OOP. I'll keep on with good ol' Von Neumann, thanks!
