📚 A BAM Use-Case: Giving a New Lease on Life to Old BASIC Programs

One BAM's top goals is to make it fairly easy to port old BASIC programs so that they can be shared via the web for running in any web browser.

Is there a better/easier way to keep old gems around for posterity?

Anyway, I just  discovered this website by Michael Coorlim via which he shares his refactors and adaptations of type-in listings from the 80's books and magazines.  Some of these programs (ones that are not machine-specific) were refactored and adapted for  BASIC Anywhere Machine in order to share the running programs.

The list of programs are in the link provided above, with mention of BASIC Anywhere Machine on the About page.

For folk like me who grew up in the age of the home computer revolution, Michael Coorlim's efforts are really cool.
