??? MITS had nothing to do with DEC or RSTS11 OS. So my guess is they
were user submissions of some basic programs not the MITS basic
(billy gates would have fits over that one too). Also MITS never did
anything
with 8008 that I ever heard of.

Well the .bas suggest they could be basic but are they tokenized or
ascii???
