I wanted to list some idea someone could run with now that the source is
avaiable:

1. Compact BASIC. Try to squeeze it even tighter that it already is.
Shove it as high in memory as you can and set the program RAM size
higher that $7000.

2. Integer BASIC. Strip all of the floating point routines and replace
them with integer versions. Result: BASIC program will have a smaller
RAM footprint and will execute faster.

How about some more ideas (and maybe some code)!
