Haha I saw an almost identical spoof transcript many years ago featuring Bjarne Stroustrup as the interviewee. It was making out that c++ was just a joke to be played on the developer community...

Hello friends

This is the 32 bit program with the 4 elementary operation : + - / *

written in Forth and Basic. (If some one could be kind enough to translate it in English, thanks)

Basic send the datas thrue string B$ and C$, Forth send the result in string R$.

Since the source is included, I believe it is easy to follow.

However, I was a little bit lost with the D-file and the String address $4010.

Is it possible to have all the String BEFORE the D-file ?, I mean after the last REM byte ?

Merci to all.

Don't forget the DOT at the end for Double Number, while Single are without the DOT.
The program is Base Hexa (16) but feel free to change; There is no Error Check :
If you enter 123456. in binary, the result will be 'nothing'
