PlasMa - 30A. BASIC steps 

@charlesspringer4709 thank you Charles; that's a clever way of distributing code. I remember some of the old computer mags printing program code in hex format, sometimes tucked away as an afterthought in unused sections of the pages, but it was a real pita typing it in by hand... and they were prone to misprints so it was best to wait for the next issue in case there were any corrections. I think checksums were only added later, but we must have a lot more patience in those days :) Re. Tiny BASIC, I might try re-writing some of it to replace the commands with single tokens as the source is read in, and to strip out REM statements; should speed up the processing a bit. I'll post the PleX code on the website later. Thanks for stopping by.
