I know this is off topic, but I cannot resist. My original "Hello World"
program was written in AmigaBasic making Exec calls to allocate memory,
and Intuition calls to set up a screen, a window, and change the font for
"Hello World". In case anyone is interested, I still have the source.
Yes, AmigaBasic can make system calls, but it is a bit tricky and required
manually computing offsets for C-data structures to either poke into
memory (hence the Exec call), or arrays *grins*.
