One minor problem when running it on the BBC ARM CoProcessor is that it uses
the *SETTYPE command, so fails just 2 lines from the end.

There are 4 obvious solutions to this
 - delete line 350/360
 - change PROCSetType to do some different checking on the value of os%
 - use OS_File 18 instead
 - ask me really nicely to add SETTYPE to the ARM Tube OS

Otherwise, despite not having a PDP11, it's a great example of using BASIC
for your own devious means,
