recently, i got more invloved with my apple with cpm. except some common commands like pip, stat and wordstar, i don't know much about cpm. i downloaded many startrek programs from toronto RCPM, i can't compile most of thee startrek games. some because of space limit or many errors. i, then, followed the simple doc with a game called 'strtrk/1.bas' which tells me it may compile with basic-e,(a public domain basic compiler which i also download from there). some problems meet, the startrek games i downloaded with source, some are not compatible with basic-e or the source file is damaged( i found some incomplete statements). i only succeed in compile on version with basic-e, can anyone give me some more info about basic-e, like the book. any better suggestions about a better basic compiler? any good public domain word processor you have used? send me the name of the program, so i can search through RCPM. now, i found that many good cpm programs are in public domain, can you suggest some of them? i have used modem7, mex, nulu ,d and cat. any apple users have successfully run/compile the bigtrek? is it possible for us to compile/run a big basic program like that in the 56K cpm v2.2 with an apple? thanks a lot.
