UNIX's bas (at least the only one I've seen) was written in assembler and
we couldn't get it to run under the compat package.

We have a basic system that was modeled after IBM's VS basic (which is
a fairly nice system).  The system currently lacks formated I/O
(print using stmts) and a couple other odds and ends.  In any case, it is
much more complete than the bas system.  If you send me a tape I will
send the system to you.

P.S.  It will probably be put on a near future Usenix tape.
