I am reading “Hard Drive” about Bill Gates and Microsoft and it goes into detail about how Paul Allen and Bill Gates wrote this version of BASIC.

It's a really good book. But does anyone know of any more up-to-date high quality biography of Bill Gates including his time leading Microsoft in the late '90s through the trial?

Pretty sure this was written by Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Monte Davidoff (sp?)

A copy of one of the source code of one the first versions apparently can be found in the Pusey library at Harvard (https://www.theregister.com/2001/05/13/raiders_of_the_lost_a...). It would be interesting to compare that with this version (both code and comments)
