[comp.sys.ibm.pc] How do I run IBM-PC Basic programs on a Clone?

Having lived happily with an old (1981) IBM-PC I decided to
add a hard disk, and found out that the 1981 BIOS doesn't support
them.  So, I'm changing the motherboard.  What do I have to do
with programs previously written in DOS BASICA (and stored in
whatever internal format BASICA uses) in order to get them to run?
Are there other BASICs out there that read files in the same format?
Or are there any other issues I should be aware of?

Thanks,
