As an aside, I never really tried it, but I wondered back then if one could take a program written in TI-BASIC and port it over to run
under BASIC on a PC. Some of the ones I typed in used sprites and
³All the "little computers" used basic when I started. The mainframes
ran cobol
³or fortran, but because the wee little computers and early PCs were so limited,
³that the Basic Interpreter was what you used.

They often used a proprietary basic, too.

might not have a direct function to translate to.
