Source code for BASIC

Though I could have missed it, I don't recall that it is/was ever the policy
of Microsoft, through any of its customers, to distribute the source of its
BASIC compiler. That would be a really handy thing to have, since one could
then hack it into shape for embedded use, thereby competing with Microsoft's
own products.

If anyone has SOURCE code for Microsoft's BASIC interpreter, I'd be very
interested to know about it.
