''BASICODE was a computer project intended to create a unified standard for the [[BASIC]] programming language. BASIC was available on many popular home computers, but there were countless variants that were mostly incompatible with each other. The project was initiated in 1980 by the Netherlands broadcasting organisation Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS).
