BASIC for all
=============

I have written several short programs (it a thing which includes no FOR
nor IF statements can be called a  program) which seem to be useful for
my teaching activities.

At first  I tried to implement  these in the form  of small spreadsheet
tables (I  used the SC spreadsheet).  It almost worked until  I learned
that  expression over  certain  length cannot  work in  the  SC. It  is
probably possible to divide the expression  to several cells but I gave
up.

Then I wrote  the same thing in  the BBC BASIC (I have  used my ppc64le
port of the Brandy BASIC interpreter, actually). It has been easier and
it actually have worked. The only issue I noticed was unavailability of
the SQR or SQRT function (but the ^0.5 operator have worked well).

So I have  made a 3 short  programs and they works. I  also have tested
them with  the ByWater BASIC  on the SDF  (so on the  NetBSD/amd64) and
they work there,  too. Next step will be the  real thing (the Cambridge
Z88).

In meantime, I  tried to write one  of these programs in the  OPL on my
PSION Organiser II. It was even easier.
