BBC-BASIC for Z80 from R.T.Russell

Foreword and license

According to David Given (hjalfi), R.T.Russell's implementation of BBC-BASIC for the Z80 CPU is now open source, with the zlib license, read more here:

David also provided the source in his "cpmish" repository on github:

https://github.com/davidgiven/cpmish/tree/master/third_party/bbcbasic

And btw, David has nice youtube videos, like a 9 hours long one coding vi clone for CP/M, quite an adventure/fun to watch, trust me :)

This repositry

This repository contains my own modifications, initially mostly clean-ups, usable Makefile, better integration of needed tools, and so on. Later, I plan other more important changes as well, not only these 'cosmetic' ones.

Original README from David Given

This has been massaged lightly by me, dtrg, to assemble with zmac. The main issue is that zmac has different keyword rules to the assembler it was originally written in, and doesn't allow labels like OR and AND. It also ignores $ in labels, so PUSH and PUSH$ are considered the same. I've renamed these. I've also removed the checksum verification code, as I don't have the tool to generate the checksum and it's not really needed. Very little else needed work.

The original source provided to me by R.T.Russell is available in the VCS.
