   If there are no assembly language routines embedded in the program   
   porting shouldn't be too hard. Get a copy of gwbasic ,and run them in a   
   dos window. You didn't say what the target system was or what OS you   
   would be using ,so a recommendation on how to transfer the files is more   
   difficult.
