Or did it? And that's why they had to split larger drives.

It didn't take me long toclone some of the hard drive images to make them for specific tasks (i.e. Deskmate, Games, FORTRAN, etc.) just to manage the files.

Ittook me only a couple of hours to fill up the hard drive from floppies. Then Irealized that I needed to start managing my data and decide what needed to beon the primary storage (hard drive) and secondary storage (floppies).... Why get even, when you can get odd?___ MultiMail/Linux v0.52

It’s not just ambiguous, in the sense of there being a set of reasonable possible interpretations: it’s completely undefined. In C99 terms, it violates the constraint in s6.5#2, and all constraint violations are undefined behavior (s4#2).

BBC BASIC was written by someone who knew what they were doing (see ARM), unlike the author of Microsoft BASIC. All characters of variables and procedures where significant, and lookups were optimised by using the first letter to index separate lists.
