Ah, sorry, yes - thanks for the reminder. It's our 'compatibility basic' made specifically for distribution with programs
that were written in Microworld basic so that we could provide a disk that worked on any microbee, rather than model specific 128k / 64k Computer in a book / 56k Microbee / 256TC releases.
It's a version of Microworld Basic, not the 'Tiny Basic' or 'Basic Etc.' that Graham72 has been posting about.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, Microworld Basic came from Basic Etc. as it's orginal code base start point, but Applied Technology / Microbee Systems Ltd further developed it for use with
the Microbee including additional commands, bug fixes, I/O support, graphics & sound routines and Premium series graphics.
