It doesn't sound as though it is MBASIC, it sounds like a modern "compatible" rendition. Very worthy , but I bet it isn't 100 compatible. :) I am an expert on compatibility having been a Software Engineering Manager on DR DOS development. Asymptotic to 100% perhaps. Very good perhaps, but don't claim 100 %. Can you implement in same size ROM? Are patch addresses the same? Same math rounding errors?

Good luck with your endeavour.

Richard

I have a background in compiler construction.  I was interested in the late 1970s in making an optimizing compiler for MBASIC.  But there is a of work to get to the interesting bits.  I recently started messing with CLAUD ai.  It wrote all of this new implementation in under 2 weeks, over 70K lines of source code, and over 1.2 million words of documentation.  This AI loves all sorts of advertising hype.  It is like its target is a 1960s used car commercial on late-night TV.   I did laugh at its use of 100%.
