As you need max syntax checking from OCR, throw it at as many
different basic interpreters/ compilers as you can, & inspect where
each bleats, some error messages may be more & less usefull for
different errors.

A friend of mine wrote a basic decades back, its in /usr/ports/lang/pbasic/

Cheers,
Julian
