Basic09 brings a lot to the table. First, what numbers are allowed, but not
necessarily required. The requirement of line numbers applies only to the
use of GOTO or GOSUB statements. In this regard why numbers are more like
labels then they are actual numbers. That said you cannot use text and are
restricted to using numbers, so in that sense they are actual numbers. When
it comes to writing the code, any text editor will do...
==============================================================
So if I'm reading this right, I could use a text editor and write code with line numbers and it will run in BASIC09... assuming syntax is correct? A simple DECB program (with appropriate syntax "corrections", if necessary) should run?
