Abstract
This paper will describe the advantages and disadvantages of developing a BASIC interpreter written in PASCAL on the Cromemco Cromix, a microcomputer, as opposed to development on the Xerox Sigma9, a mainframe computer. The Cromemco's nonstandard PASCAL features necessitate a comparison between the two system's PASCALs and the effect of their differences on the design of the interpreter.
