Thanks.   Many years ago in the early 80s, there were some folks that paid me 
to write BASIC for the TRS-80 Model II and III.   I did most of my writing on 
my TRS-80 Model I then transferred via cassette to the Model III.  (I can’t 
remember how I moved it to the Model II).   I finished the debug at the 
customer’s facility.    Being armed with a variable concordance was essential.  
 (Nothing like trying to fix bugs while your customer is watching over your 
shoulder).    I cannot remember where I had originally obtained the variable 
concordance.   After a halfhearted unsuccessful search for one on the web I 
decided to craft my own.   It was fun.  It might not be the most 
straightforward method, but it seems to work.    I’ve tried it on a few larger 
programs such as Eliza,  Murder Mansion, Haunted House as well as a couple I 
wrote (Star Merchant and Dungeon Warrior).   So far, so good.   I’m happy to 
hear it runs on Linux without too much trouble.  I should really try and spend 
more time with Linux.   Not using the output file is odd.   I’m glad I used 
both printf and fprintf for the final output so you were able to get the 
results.

Hi Lloyd,

 

I'm happy to report your code compiled without error on a modern Linux system, 
although I did run into some very minor non-breaking bugs in operation.  
Currently it ignores the "output file" and emits the tokenization to stdout.  
After that, it produces output that matches your test output perfectly.

 

Thanks for providing source that made it so easy to run.  This can be very 
useful for program analysis.
