who wrote Basic
> Among the donors to Revolution is Bill Gates, who also provided the establishing gift: the BASIC interpreter tape he wrote for the MITS Altair 8800 while at Harvard in 1975, and that led to Microsoft and Windows.
I thought it was based on Decus BASIC a copy of the source code Bill obtained from the DECUS, the DEC User Society?
