- Interpreters: Depending on how much memory your A1000 carries (the add on

- you might or might not be able to use AmigaLogo, which is also a lot of

- uses 1M of RAM beyond the OS, but might well fit in a lot less.

- There was once a compiler for A1000 AmigaBasic, too; I doubt it is still
- around, but you could look.
