- vread() is a nice idea, but fairly (very) limited. In particular, it requires
- that the p-code being interpreted be stored on the disk in semi-compiled
- form, and used as pure.
-
- May I remind you that INTERACTIVE interpreters (which is the whole point
- of interpreters) do not do this; most BASIC's tokenize the text as they
- read it in, so it is not pure; any decent interactive system will have
- dificulty utilizing this because they do not p-compile first.
