Just out of Curiosity, what kind of Set up was used to create tiny basic? The original, the 8080 based Tiny Basic was designed to be used with a standard Teletype interface. Did the creators, use a monitor program? Also, how would
they have gotten the octal or hexadecimal code onto paper tape? Was it possible to just dump it to a paper tape (like you could ascii based), or did they have to write a routine to get the final creation onto tape? It could of also been
crossed compiled. Remote possibly it was keyed in using Switches, though they would have been forever time consuming?
I am just wondering how the Authors got around the Altair's I/O problem to create Tiny Basic?
