- Yes, I remember how you can have BASIC modify itself by printing the
- y=f(x) equation with a line number before it, and do some pokes, and
- the line becomes part of the program. I was thinking more along the
- lines of something written Pascal, C, or Action! to improve the speed,
- or even use Compiled TurboBASIC XL (you listening Bill K. ?).
- With these, the self modifying code method of allowing BASIC to do
- the function interpreting goes out the window.
- With the popularity of RAMDISKS and bigger disk drives,
- indefinite derivatives and integrals could be handled with look-up
- tables could they not?
