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.
