~ Well the main thing is if you know how to program basic09! If you write
spagetti code like Color Basic, Basic09 isn't any faster and hogs memory.
However if you use the loops and take advantage of its file handling and
modularity a good BBS can be done in basic09 without dirty code or forking 1000
shells.

Now with Basic09 on the MM/1 (I posted a file with my observations so far) we
have no barrier and multi-tasking is much better so a BBS could really fly!

The only part of my BBS thats in M/L is a ansi translator since I did need the
absolute most speed. yet interfacing it to Basic09 was cake! Basic09 can really
call other modules of any language and is easy to pass variables back & forth.
I see it as the best basic I ever used!

Mike
