Tiny BASIC

language A dialect of BASIC developed by Dr. Wang [Wong?]

in the late 1970s. Tiny BASIC was 2K bytes in size and was

loaded from paper tape. It ran on almost any Intel 8080

or Zilog Z80 microprocessor for which the user could

provide the necessary I/O driver software.

Tiny BASIC was distributed as [the first ever?] freeware.

The program listing contained the following phrases "All

Wrongs reserved" and "CopyLeft", he obviously wasn't

interested in money.
