+cmbbasic (Commodore BASIC V2 as a scripting language)
+
+Commodore BASIC (cbmbasic) is a 100% compatible version of Commodore's
+version of Microsoft 6502 BASIC as found on the Commodore 64. You can use
+it in interactive mode or pass a BASIC file as a command line parameter.
+
+This does not emulate 6502 code; all code is completely native. On a
+1GHz CPU you get about 1000x speed compared to a 1MHz 6502.
