Retro-Style Calculator - CharlieJV - 11-18-2022
Note: I've got a few things I need to fix up to make this a QB64-compatible program.
As-is, it is a fun for-the-giggles bit of code to glance at.
EDIT: You'll notice a bit of a mixed bag of choices (like using GOSUB's and SUB's; every BAM program is an opportunity to do sanity checks on as many statements/styles I can squeeze in there without getting too messy.

Oops, I never thought of checking for division by zero. Good catch!
That "infinity" error, pretty sure that's native javascript handling. Me not liking javascript much, that I like.

I don't think there will be much to convert. More of an opportunity to add whatever I need to BAM to that the program can work in BAM the QB64 way. Well, within reason. Maybe come things will be conversion; hopefully not much.
Yup, no fancy modern web stuff. Throwback to the '80's (dBase/Clipper etc., kind of GW-BASIC ish.)
