Nice looking site, but that's going to be a huge task. I'm not sure
how much interest there is in translating between different BASIC
dialects, since most people stick with a favorite old dialect
(AppleSoft, TRS-80 Level II, C-64 Basic2, GWBasic, etc).

The graphics and sound won't be portable, anyway. It's hard to find
portable Basic programs that can be translated easily even if you do
know the source and target dialects. It's mostly business style apps
that can be easily ported.
