Mine's at home, but I do happen to have a version I ported to the PET
in 1978 that is sitting right here on my SPARCstation disk. I've got
xpet, and a directory full of my old tapes that I converted to .d64
emulator disk format. I'd post HAMMURABI.BAS, but I suspect that more
than one person would get annoyed. If anyone _really_ wants a copy, I
can provide one. It depends on logical statements working as follows:
The statement C=(A>B) would set C to 0 if A weren't greater than B, and
would set C=-1 if A were greater than B. Not all micro BASICs support this.
I'm pretty sure Applesoft is onethat does _not_.
