Subject: Commodore 64 BBC BASIC

Well, (insert Bloodnock quote here)!

After years of hearing rumours and fruitless searching, I've tracked 
down Aztec's version of BBC BASIC for the Commodore 64: 
http://mdfs.net/bbcbasic/C64/

It turns out that the released version was very incomplete, more like a 
demonstration demo than a finished product. A lot of functionality is 
missing, even switching to MODE 0 causes it to start falling over. 
Strangely, considering that, the code image is 30K when even a fully 
functional version on the BBC is 16K; I would expect something maybe a 
few kilobytes longer adding an interface between BASIC and the C64 
kernel - not wholly twice as long.
