Hi B9,
That's one very weird file. Yes, it loads, lists, and runs on my m100.

Alright, so this is kind of a weird one. I've been playing around with
the BASIC tokenizer I wrote and trying to break it by giving it weird
input. While doing so, I stumbled across some of those degenerate
BASIC tokenizations John Hogerhuis was talking about. No, I'm still
not at his level of embedding machine language in BASIC statements
above the maximum line number. I am instead exploring a more mundane
mystery: how does a Model T react to duplicate line numbers, out of
order lines, and so on. I haven't found this information online, but
it's possible I'm just not using the right search keywords.
Anyhow, I've written a test program, GOTO10.BA
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackerb9/tokenize/main/degenerate/GOTO10.BA>,
which runs on my Model 200. Now I'd like to know if it works the same
on other hardware.
Would anyone be willing to try it on a Model 100 or Tandy 102 and tell
me if it RUNs and LISTs. By the way, the file is already in tokenized
BASIC, so it'll need to be transferred in binary mode, not ASCII. (For
example, using DLplus <https://github.com/bkw777/dlplus>, not TELCOM).
Thanks!

PS. Please note that while it is not malicious, it /is/ purposefully
malformed and shouldn't be trusted not to lock up your
machine, spill bytes all over the RAM drive, teach your REX to roll
over and play dead, use the modem to prank call Bill Gates, and/or
send a thousand messages to everyone you know declaring, "I <3 MODEL T
4 EVA!!!!1!!"
