The BASIC from that time was pretty limited, IIRC.

No real functions, only `gosub` and `goto` so everything is a global variable.

I think even assembler for x86 is easier to unravel.

PowerBasic does have functions. Go there is thousands of goto and gosub which would need to be unraveled which there isn't really a 1:1 for gosub at least in say C++. Or EXIT IF... The bane of my existence...
