But the versions of PILOT were too incompatible, even compared to BASIC.Block structured langs suck to type in because there's no line numbers, you have to keep track of where you are and visual diff the programs.8-bit magazines also had those checksum programs, which were super useful, hard to make one for anything else. <a href="https://appdot.net/tags/basic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#basic</a>
