I re-organized the languages\BASIC tree into "compiled" and "interpreted"
sub-trees. The interpreted tree contains the original pasm-only
implementation of GW-BASIC as an interpreted language. The compiled tree
contains a Quick-BASIC like compiler and a few sample BASIC programs
(connect-4, eliza, wumpus, hanoi, etc..).

Parrot's GC and speed are *much* improved since I played with it a few
months ago. Hanoi for large numbers of disks no longer leaks, and runs
noticably faster. Nice job.

Please, update MANIFEST and s#\#/#g in testrun.pl (the backwards don't
run). Also the quickstart section is misleading.
Could you please include a Makefile{,in}
And another one, did you try to run the PASM through imcc - it does
speed things up drastically:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
my $parpath='../../../languages/imcc/imcc'; # use config, $(EXE) ...

system("$parpath @ARGV TARG_test.pasm");

TIA,
leo
