Project success: Rescued a working binary of ALtair 4K
basic off the old cassette tape (after much diddling with
volume and tone controls) so you can be sure we're going
to make a fresh dump direct to a sound card and audio CD
for preservation.

Wish I could find the original docs. Sure does add a lot
of value to the machine to have easy floating point and
flow control! Next level: Startrek (and other rudimentary
games). Can't do much without strings tho. Hmmm, might
have 8K basic here somewhere...

Curious what the copyright situation on BASIC (or related
products) is? Certainly Gate's hasn't released it into
public domain.
