To cater to all customers, microcontroller vendor AM Research (AMR Forth)
included a BASIC compiler (written in Forth).  The source for entire system
may still be available somewhere.

Another 'BASIC in Forth' can be found in 4tH.

Of course, once you know Forth who needs BASIC.  The same can be said
for abstraction and other attempts to 'dumb down' Forth.
