I know how it is to have Too Much Stuff. And I've finally got the time
to dig into my own house-sized box-o-crap, having already gotten rid of
the biggest and most useless things (like a bunch of random VGA
monitors).

But you really should know about this...

They're cool, but not very rare. The second volume, or even a "TRS-80
Edition" would be much rarer. (I have a TRS-80 Edition of the second
volume, but not the regular edition.) You would probably do better
offering it as a freebie on craigslist or freecycle. At least you
wouldn't have to pay listing fees.

I can understand your reaction, but in fact you don't have to add any
new keywords (OPENUP and EXT# already exist in Brandy) 'just' modify
the existing code. I'm not suggesting it would be easy, but very
worthwhile.

So if you can't use OPENUP how do you obtain the file handle that BPUT#
and BGET# need? Does Brandy use native Linux file handles?

Possibly not the answer you wanted, but have you considered modifying
Brandy's source code to support the OPENUP"COM1:9600,n,8,1" syntax, and
the use of EXT# with serial ports, when running under Linux? Not only
would that solve your problem but it would be a useful extension to
Brandy and improve its compatibility with BBC BASIC for Windows.
