This is the initial Beta release of 1401 Tiny Basic.
It has only been run on ROPE.
Some small changes will be needed to run it on a real 1401.

Package Contents:
	Basic.s is the Basic source code
	1401 Tiny Basic Manual.txt is the tiny manual
	BRTEST.TXT is a 'deck' of regression test programs

Please read the manual and report any issues with it.

The BRTEST.TXT is a deck of Basic source programs that
I use for regression testing. Reading the code in those
programs will help explain what the manual does not.

Operation:
Assumble Basic.s using ROPE.
Select "Run Time Data" in the simulator.
Enter BRTEST.TXT as the "Reader File"
Restart the simulator and press "Start Program"
The first Basic program will be read in and executed.
Press "Continue Program" to read and execute each following program..
...until the card reader is empty.

Next, write your own Basic program.
Please send me any source "decks" to cause Basic to misbehave.

Thank you,
Paul
