NB: I compiled this from Fabrizio Bartoloni's MOS port.
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brandy is a Basic V interpreter. It is source code compatible with
Acorn's Basic V interpreter and runs under a number of different
operating systems. It currently works with RISC OS, NetBSD (arm32
and i386), Linux (X86) and DOS using the DJGPP DOS extender. The
aim of this project is to write a Basic interpreter that is
compatible with the Acorn interpreter and that runs identically
across all supported operating systems, emulating features of the
RISC OS environment where necessary so that a program will run
unchanged using the Acorn interpreter under RISC OS or this one
under any other OS. No attempt has been made to support features
of operating systems other than RISC OS, for example, it is not
possible to make operating system calls from within a program
except under RISC OS. The program is simply a Basic interpreter
and that is all.
These notes describe how to use the program and discuss
differences between it and Acorn's interpreter. They also detail
the extensions to Basic V that have been implemented and finish
with some miscellaneous remarks about the program and a list of
the known bugs.
