   Hallo Benny!   
      
    BP> will it run all c64 basic programs with peek and pokes ?   
      
   Send some example code and I'll give it a try.  All I know for sure is that   
   hello.bas compiles without any grief and is a pure 64-bit executable on the   
   x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu host where gcc-8.2.0 bootstrapped it.  I haven't   
   run across any documentation that discusses compatibilty yet ... other than   
   the qbasic quote Little Mikey posted in this echo.   
      
    BP> will it do all commodore 128d basic programs with mmu and 1024k   
    BP> free mem ?   
      
   I don't know.  My best guess is that it doesn't matter.  I didn't see   
   commodore portabilty listed anywhere.  I did notice that freebasic can be   
   ported to win32, win64 and dos, as well as to linux and bsd.  I managed to get   
   it working as a pure 64-bit linux without too much grief.  How about you?   
      
    BP> google unicomal and ibm   
      
   See http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/opencomal as well as the pure   
   linux port at https://github.com/poldy/OpenCOMAL.
