I believe we're using these BASIC programs as-is in our OS/8
distribution <http://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/#os8>. 1975 is late in the
PDP-8's lifetime, but also right at its peak of use, especially in
education, since the microcomputer revolution had just barely gotten
rolling by that point.
Hmm. I would not expect much of that code to work on the BASIC that's
under OS/8 without changes as well.
I also checked another file, and found a comment that they should all
work on RSTS/E and RSTS-11, except for SPACWR and another one, and of
course I did most of my examination on SPACWR.
So that explains it. That specific file have more issues. Maybe the
others will work fine in BASIC+ then.
