You are right, I should have wrote: "Valentin, Tom & Jean-François, you made me realize that I was asking too much from the HP-71B BASIC language implementation" Since this thread was about the HP-71B BASIC question, I wrongly assumed that my statement would be taken in that context, sorry about that. I also agree that other BASIC implementations has more advanced concepts build into them. Sure, all higher level languages with higher level abstractions are at the end converted to assembly language that are full of goto and gosub. IMHO the 64KB limit is a moot point because there have been other interpreters created that has support for more advance concept and runs within that space constraint. The HP-71B machine was part of the BASIC rage that span the 1970's & 1980's and that's ok. Now I have to decide how I will refactor my program. Thank you Valentin for your invaluable input, I mean it. Best regards, Sylvain |
