It doesn't emulate BBC Basic, it runs BBC Basic, but it's such a hacked
about version to get it to work on the *spit*spit*.  It needs that extra
BBCBIOS file that's tagged onto the end of BBCBASIC.EXE to extend the RM's
BIOS to get it to do anything sensible.
 
Even Windows <agh!> had to have horrible things done to it to get it to
run on the RM.
