[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Microsoft compiled basic

ralph@cc.brunel.ac.uk (Ralph Mitchell) (07/07/89)

Can anyone tell me how variables are stored in Microsoft compiled Basic ??
I have about 8Mb of database to read and convert to another form...  The
original database was created by a suite of basic programs on an Apricot
using DOS/BIOS 2.11.  I don't have access to the original sources.
I think I have identified most of the data fields, but there's some dates
in it somewhere that may be stored as long ints or floats or something...

Thanks in Advance,

Ralph Mitchell
