Good evening, I recently came into possession of a "Draft Proposed American National Standard for BASIC" circa September 15, 1980, 6 years prior to the publication of the Full BASIC standard.
I did some brief searching around, checked bitsavers, archive.org, but I don't happen to see this archived anywhere. Is anyone aware of such a scan? If not, I'll be sure to add it to my scan docket...which is a bit slow these days due to a beautiful spring and much gardening...but not forgotten!
Flipping through this makes me wonder how things might have been different if this dropped in 1980 rather than 1986.

Well, I taught myself BASIC way back in school, in 1970; of course, the
language has changed a bit since then...
