A TCP/IP Stack and Web Server In BASIC

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the rebirth-of-the-line-editor dept.

A writes "Back in the day, a BASIC interpreter was standard on every home computer system and everyone had to know at least a little BASIC to be able to use their computer. But who would have thought that you could write some serious networking code in BASIC over 20 years later? Just a few days ago, Lee Davison released the BASIC source code for his 6502-based Ethernet web server. The web server runs under his EhBASIC interpreter on the 1 MHz 6502 CPU and is able to blast out web pages at an amazing speed of 20-35 seconds per page!" Sure, it's not really practical, but I give it cool points.

    I've started a police investigation of who is behind these GNAA Troll posts. It is illegal to spread rasistic material like that.

    just because va lairIE's whoreabully infactdead pateNTdead PostBlock(tm) devise is such a pathetic failure, there's no need to lowrate us. 0, there must be some reasoning attached?

    no way of knowing for sure, as the big fauxking deals hereabouts appear to be invisibull.

    not like the old daze at all. small wonder why all these billyonerrors need to remain 'above' the fray, & let their thinking/behaviours be dictated buy 'bankers' & phonIE scriptdead ?pr? ?firm? execrable. they do it for the monIE.
