Notes for the SuckyBASIC examples
=================================

Example1
  This will not work as printed in issue #22, as it
  is missing a DIM statement.
  I have added this to the source provided here.
  I don't know if the code in the book was missing
  this, or if I transcribed it incorrectly - most
  likely the latter.


Example2
  This does not work.
  To get beyond the initial error, remove the line
  "CLEAR 100" as BASIC V doesn't use this syntax.
  When you run it, you'll notice that it prints the
  same thing over and over. I expect this is a
  transcription error on my part, incorrect variable
  or something.
  This points out several issues:
    1. Homerton-like text for listings is stupid as
       it is NOT clear.
    2. Using single-character variables takes away
       a LOT of readability and makes it meaningless
       'noise' so swapping a few is likely.
    3. The abuse of GOTO in this program means that
       I won't even ATTEMPT to waste my time trying
       to figure out what it supposed to be
       happening in order to make this thing work.
  In other words, without even trying, I have proved
  the point I was making about this example... :-)
