I'm wondering what it would take to be able to get Integer Basic to work correctly on ProDOS. I know there's a version that will load on DOS 3.3 in 48K (i.e., doesn't use the language card), which I have as a BIN file on a disk image: http://www.dosius.net/diskint.dsk.gz (22 sectors)

I wonder, if this could be disassembled, if it could be adjusted to work with ProDOS and re-assembled.

I am aware of that, and such a program as this would be, would rely on BASIC.SYSTEM to already be loaded.

Maybe you would be able to rip out the cassette tape stuff and actually let it LOAD and SAVE right to ProDOS directly? Of course, you'd probably need to support the PRINT D$;"DOS COMMAND"-style way of issuing DOS commands since old programs would need this.

Yeah, and that's why I mentioned disassembling and reassembling, so as to make sure it's somewhere else in the memory map (this version does that, I think - it runs in 48K on DOS 3.3), and to make sure it doesn't step on ProDOS's ZP globals.

I think it would be a fun project.
