I actually think Antoine Vignau gave me that code.  It's been years.

Here's the irony:  I did a code check at one point, because EHBASIC 
behaves in most respects very much like a Microsoft dialect.  A lot of the 
code I checked was very similar to Applesoft.  (I added parts of Applesoft 
to EHBASIC in order to put the dialects on a more even footing; much of 
the graphics code is taken from Applesoft directly.)

I don't think EHBASIC was based on Applesoft.  I actually believe it may 
have started out as a hack of Synertek BASIC, a closely related dialect, 
and then been mauled into what it is now.

I tried to advance it further, and ran into walls.

-uso.
