Hi, I\u2019m Randy Kindig and this is an interview-only episode of Antic, The Atari 8-bit computer podcast. \xa0Our guest for this show is Pab Sungenis, a long-time (and current) developer for the Atari 8-bits. \xa0A long time ago, Pab wrote a popular piece of bulletin board software called AtariLink BBS. \xa0He also developed an off-line mail reader. \xa0He was also more recently involved briefly with enhancements to the SpartaDOS alternative DOS, arguably one of the best DOS\u2019s ever developed for the Atari 8-bit. \xa0His current project is an exciting one where he is working to develop a new programming language to target the Atari 8-bits. \xa0I hope you enjoy this.
