Not true. BASIC-PLUS, at least starting with RSTS V5 or thereabouts,
*supports* BP2 syntax as an alternate option. But it does not insist on it and
it still supports the old syntax as well. Here is RSTS V10.1:
list
BPTEST 11:30 AM 26-Jan-18
10 & "hi there" :
& "line 2, with <LF> continuation"
20 end
Ready
run
BPTEST 11:30 AM 26-Jan-18
hi there
line 2, with <LF> continuation
Ready
For BP2, & as shorthand for PRINT is not allowed, : must be replaced by \, and
continuation lines must be &<crlf> rather than <lf>. If you do that, the file
will still work with BASIC-PLUS in RSTS/E (but not on V4A).
