Well, it's interesting, though a bit simplistic interface (having to
reload / restart upon each expression). I see you used "fblite"
dialect. A quick check shows that only fblite and qb support GOSUB, so
I guess that's why.

Interesting about the two (human) languages supported, though I don't
know if there's a cleaner way than you did it (ad hoc). Cats/Kitten is
supported in C, and there's an old (Turbo) Pascal version Cubs
somewhere (Mateusz Viste). I don't know about FBC, though, perhaps
nobody ever used such things there (but I've not checked).

I'm surprised nobody screamed at you for attaching a file on this
list, but hey, it's small, so who cares? Just beware purists.   ;-)

BTW, minor suggestion:  have an option to use inches (instead of
meters) and pounds (instead of kilograms). I know that's not urgent,
but for some of us  :-)  it's hard to convert in our heads. (EDIT:
Okay, I was basically right, 1 meter = 3.25 feet, aka 39 inches, and a
kilogram is 2.2 pounds.)

P.S. We have a fuller-featured tool for such things in FoxCalc, also
written in FBC, if you want to take a look for tips:
