	I see that there're a number of derivatives of MS BASIC,
	Sinclair BASIC, and STOS BASIC still in active development
	(e. g.: QB64, MMBasic; BASin; sdlBasic.)  And, as it seems,
	there's a renewed interest in smaller, "BASIC-as-an-OS"
	computers (check, e. g., Maximite [1] and its derivatives.)

	I wonder if there's a good comparison of their respective
	features?  I'm especially interested in any of them being
	compared to either Beta BASIC (a Sinclair BASIC derivative,
	presumably no longer in development), or its derivatives
	(SAM BASIC, MasterBASIC.)

	TIA.
