This is a basic port of the Brandy BBC Basic V interpreter to DSLinux.
Brandy is an interpreter for BASIC V, the dialect of BASIC that Acorn Computers supplied with their ranges of desktop computers that use the ARM processor such as the Archimedes and Risc PC, and is still in use on these and compatibles.
BASIC V is an extended version of BBC BASIC. This was the BASIC used on the BBC Micro that Acorn made during the early 1980s.
