From: maury.markowitz@gmail.com Unless I'm mistaken, Integer BASIC is a "deep tokenizer", so is it not the case the spaces exist only at entry time? IE, if one types 'PRINT"HELLO"' that will actually be LISTed as 'PRINT "HELLO"? [That is my recollection. Storing tokens takes less space than storing the input text and on those tiny little micros, every byte counted. -John] --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
