Re: A83: Fresh News
I think that making it possible for asm programmers to include BASIC
commands in their programs would be very interesting, and if that is
possible this should be possible too. Converting BASIC to asm is possible,
and it would give an increase in speed but it would require someone to spend
quite a bit of time on it.
