30 years later, QBasic is still the best

So back to Basic then, this is Turbo Basic (1987)

    ' a = *addr
    a = PEEK (addr%)

    '  *addr = value
    POKE addr%, value

    'a = addr
    a = addr

    'addr++
    INCR addr%, 2

    'a = &variable
    DEF SEG = VARSEG(variable)
    a = VARPTR(varible)
    a = VARPTR$(varible)

Or to stay with QuickBasic dialects, Freebasic music tunes

Which also provides the SIZEOF chord, simplifying the increment operations of memory addresses.
