<mike disqualifies all Basics beyond the one with only GOTOs, GOSUBs, and
such as being ``real'' Basic. I think that the latest ANSI standard Basic is
quite different from your average microcomputer Basic; it includes all the
normal control structures, subroutines, and even a way of packaging
subroutines. It's nothing special, but it's a far cry from spaghetti. I
don't know if this Basic will ever become the de facto standard on
microcomputers, but it would be nice if it did...
