Call "C" anything you like, but don't call it a higher level language
than BASIC!  Page ix of "The C Programming Language" by K & R says:
"C is not a 'very high level' language".  Languages that take you further
from the architecture of the machine are considered to be of a higher level.
BASIC is a very high level language, since you are almost totally insulated
from the machines architecture.
