Tiny BASIC

   <language> A dialect of {BASIC} developed by Dr. Wang [Wong?]
   in the late 1970s.  Tiny BASIC was 2K bytes in size and was
   loaded from {paper tape}.  It ran on almost any {Intel 8080}
   or {Zilog Z80} {microprocessor} for which the user could
   provide the necessary I/O driver software.

   Tiny BASIC was distributed as [the first ever?] {freeware}.
   The program listing contained the following phrases "All
   Wrongs reserved" and "{CopyLeft}", he obviously wasn't
   interested in money.

   See also {Tiny Basic Interpreter Language}.
