It was a quite advanced BASIC and featured a runtime threaded code compiler that compiled the program when one entered the code RUN code command. The dialect was very close to MSX BASIC . The major differences were the lack of the code PLAY code , code SOUND code , code VPOKE code and code PUT SPRITE code operators, the inability to open several files at the same time, and the inability to use more than one operator on one line. Only the UKNC version had a full screen editor. Machine dependent features, like graphics operators parameters and code PEEK POKE code addresses were also different. The software was developed at Vilnius University , located in Lithuania which was a republic of the Soviet Union at the time.

The Vilnius Dungeons lang lt Vilniaus po emiai are medieval dungeon s under parts of the downtown of Vilnius . Their real size and extent, as well as purpose and age, are arguable there are some urban legend s and various theories about these dungeons. In the dungeons, there are about 4000 dead bodies. Due to the dry climate inside, many of them have naturally mummified others are just skeleton s. Size The true size of the dungeons is unknown. Some tend to believe that the known part of the dungeons is only a part of the whole system, and that there is a second level of them, stairs to which are bricked off. Some claim that these dungeons are below the whole of downtown Vilnius. The known part of the dungeons is under the districts near Domininkon and Vilniaus streets. The only known entrance to the dungeons is from the Church of the Holy Spirit it is believed though that there might be connections between the dungeons and cellars of other buildings, such as a former monastery not far away. Purpose The purpose of the dungeons is also disputed. There are various claims, from romantic stories that they were used by certain legendary lovers of the Great Duchy of Lithuania Barbora Radvilait and ygimantas Augustas to meet each other secretly, to some horror stories, to the more realistic explanations. The origin of the dead bodies is also not known. During Soviet times there was a version that those were bodies of the victims of the Inquisition there were even plans to create an Inquisition museum in the dungeons.
