Is there a way so you can write:
IF a = b THEN PRINT "A and B are equal";
Instead of:
IF a = b THEN PRINT "A and B are equal";: END IF
To keep compatibillty with the original ZX BASIC?
Then you will not have to change all of those IF/THEN lines in old sorce code, and also perhaps some kind of swithc or a #pragma directive so
you will not have to rewrite draw and plot commands while also keeping the new way of using those commands and then without the directive
of course.
The original BASIC version would also not allow to PLOT or DRAW on the bottom two lines.
Example:
PLOT x+100,y-100 ' original BASIC version
PLOT x+100,96-y ' zxb version
This would greatly simplify things and keep bugs to the minimum.
READ/RESTORE/DATA is not that important compared to the other stuff.
