Hi Marcel,
Pleased to see your interest in VTL02.
I first came across this a few years ago when I found the original paper describing this "Very Tiny Language" which appeared initially in 1976 following the introduction of the Altair computer. It was quite an achievement to squeeze a usable, interpreted language into just 768 bytes of 6800 code.
The language was revisited some 30 years later with VTL-2 - here
http://www.altair680kit.com/manuals/Alt ... chable.pdf
Now that it has been ported to the 6502 and with added features it makes it accessible to the Gigatron, and chronologically correct for a machine inspired by mid-1970s TTL technology.
I'm looking forward to seeing it part of a future ROM offering.
regards
Ken
