Old habits are hard tobreak. In my later Basic years I used APBasic (Advance Point I think) which had a lot more commands available than any other Basic I ever tried and you had the option of using line numbers or labels for GOTO statements. Plus the finished product could be compiled into an EXE program.. I think there is a newer program with the same name if you did a search online. The original is from the late 80's and is a true DOS program.. --- * SLMR Rob * If all appears to go well, you missed something... * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700 SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664 SEEN-BY: 229/700 705 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58 SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 195 304 5020/400 5075/35 PATH: 2320/105 229/426 |
