[Coco] NitrOS9 and Basic09

[L. Curtis Boyle]

There were a few cursory speed ups done to BASIC09 (I can’t remember if they were ported to RUNB… I think I was going to finish BASIC09 first, and then port it back to RUNB but never got that far). I don’t know if Boisy and co. took it any further than that. There were some math speed ups, and some loop speedups, from what I (faintly) remember.

Now I'm sure that doesn't make much sense but, there are times when I would like it to be faster than it is. But other times, I need it to slow down. I use this machine for operating my "Micro-Mill" and when I'm just moving the head, it takes forever, using pokes to step the stepper motors. However, when it's actually cutting metal, that would be too fast and I would love to be able to slow it down. That's the easy part. Speeding it up is not.
