   They probably planned it, then decided against it for some reason.
Filetypes are almost never deallocated, as that'd cause too much
confusion.

   Orca/Integer Basic is a Integer Basic compiler for the GS under
GS/OS.  Don't know of any compiler/interpreters for ProDOS 8. See
http://www.hypermall.com/byteworks/index.html for info on this
product, and where you can buy it.
