    What do you do when you want to preserve a thirty year old spaghetti
    code BASIC program? Of course, if you have no intention whatsoever to
    maintain it, you could of course just use a compatible interpreter. Or
    you could do it the hard way by trying to analyze it and port it to Forth.

    Scary application domain, but a cool project combining retro-programming
    with BASIC and Forth!
