Currently the BASIC only understands a few simple basic commands: `PRINT`, `LIST`, `GOTO` and `RUN`. The arithmetic parser was yanked out as part of a refactor that is still ongoing so it can't do math right now. The eventual target is for this to be fully MS BASIC-80 compliant.
Beware, this is a work in progress and is probably in some state of brokenness. The last couple of git log entries should be relied upon to understand the current state.
To run it, you need either an x86 computer with a floppy drive (or the bochs emulator. For emulation you can use any x86 emulator that can boot a floppy image, but the makefile assumes you have 'bochs' installed.
Keep in mind that the unit tests are compiled with gcc, not bcc, as I couldn't find an elegant way to make bcc produce objects that could easily be run in linux (especially Travis-CI). So while the tests are an accurate test of the C code under ANSI spec, they make no promises re: what bcc is eventually going to do with that code.
New unit tests are created by making a new *.c file in tests/. Drop the name of whatever portions of piquant it relies on into a '.deps' file. Look at the others for examples.
