Thanks for the link. I downloaded the set of TSS/8 Basic files and am
impressed. Although the mnemonics are new to me, this assembly
language code is very well organized. Quite possibly this is the code
followed to write Altair and derivative Basics. The approach is the
same, but the DEC code is intended to be maintainable.

I knew there had to be a blueprint for Basic somewhere. This might be
it. It will be fun to study.
Thanks,
Rick.
