Oh, while I'm thinking of it: maybe consider changing the docs redirect to the 2.x branch on pc-basic.org by default?
Thanks for your awesome work here, Rob! I was curious about the 1.2 — I've exclusively used 2.x and wondered about the dual status.
FWIW, though I didn't benchmark things, I've had good results using PyPy (https://www.pypy.org/) to run PC-BASIC with great speedups. Might be worth a shot depending upon needs.

Of course I notice this after I post... I just cloned the Git repository as opposed to downloading the latest source here on SF and it builds & runs just fine. So this may be a non-issue.
can't build on Mac 11.4
If you're curious, I recently discovered MichalOS (as well as MikeOS) and got both running on a circa-1989 386 luggable! Pretty fun. I'm recently getting back into old systems & their BASICs, as well as newly into electronics, so I'm starting to meet in the middle with old assembly code and lower-level stuff after a career of higher-level programming. Very fun. Thanks for this project.
