   Has anyone heard about TRUE BASIC which is being produced by
John Kemeny (one of the original creators of BASIC) and Kurtz?
It is supposed to conform to ANSI proposed standards (i.e., be
Pascal-like supporting Procedures, etc.). As I understand it, Kurtz
is on the ANSI committee. There was an article in a recent
Popular Computing (which I haven't seen yet) about it.

   Does anyone know if the ANSI proposed standard for BASIC is
floating around the Arpanet and/or any other network? I would
like to get my hands on it.
