Does anybody knows? Maybe the idea is silly, but I'll tell about it: since the new BASIC compiler must be in memory to permit new development in this new BASIC, why not simple write a tiny C program, (once compiled, it's machine code, isn't it ;-) that only contains a "int" variable, set to what ever you want, plus a "malloc()" instruction sized to your int * sizeof(char), and once done, just unassemble this program, to see what's the ML code for a malloc in C ;-) (or even better, compare the code with and without the malloc() instruction) [CUT] I hope I understood "dynamic memory" the same way you did... And if you meant "untyped" variable, thing about imitating the "VARIENT" type from MS-VisualBasic... (IMHO very very silly) it will be a very consuming memory system...
