/* * PROJECT: Tiny BASIC Interpreter C89 Port
 * AUTHOR: BASIC++ Community
 * FILENAME: tinybasic.c
 * VERSION: 1.0.0
 * SYSTEM: POSIX and FreeDOS
 * DESCRIPTION: A strictly compliant ANSI C89 port of Li-Chen Wang's Tiny BASIC,
 * providing 64K segregated memory arenas for stack, scratch, code, and variables.
 * FEATURES: REPL interface, LOAD/SAVE text programs, 16-bit integer math.
 * ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: Single-file procedural C using static BSS arrays to 
 * bypass FreeDOS local stack limits, mapping assembly string parsing to C char arrays.
 * HOW TO COMPILE: See detailed numbered instructions in the documentation section.
 * HOW TO PORT: Ensure target compiler supports 16-bit signed shorts and a minimum 
 * of 256KB total BSS memory segment allocation.
 * PORTABILITY AND MODULARITY GUIDE: 
 * - Arduino: Move static arrays to PROGMEM or external SRAM due to 2KB RAM limits.
 * Replace main() with setup() and move the REPL while(1) logic into loop().
 * - Raspberry Pi: Compile with standard GCC ARM flags. Memory limits are trivial here.
 * Debugging can be performed natively using GDB.
 * DEVELOPERS PHILOSOPHY: Adhere to Unix-based philosophy (do one thing well), 
 * strict ANSI C89/C90 compliance, and no external libraries in the core system.
 * * PROJECT ROADMAP:
 * COMPLIANCE STATUS:
 * - [MET] ANSI C89 strict compliance and variable declarations.
 * - [MET] 64KB memory arena partitioning within 512KB limit.
 * - [IN PROGRESS] Full statement parity with Palo Alto Version 3.
 * - [CANDIDATE] Add XML state ingestion routine.
 * - [CANDIDATE] Add direct memory PEEK/POKE for DOS.
 * - [CANDIDATE] Implement software floating-point emulation.
