[comp.sys.mac] Direct mode BASIC program

mys@edison.UUCP (06/01/87)

  A friend of mine has a Mac and received some Microsoft BASIC program to
run on it.  My friend wanted to look at the source code for this program,
but it is written in something called "direct mode".  From what I can tell
from looking at (older) Microsoft BASIC manuals, "direct mode" just means
there are no line numbers preceding the BASIC statements.

  Is there some way, using Microsoft BASIC on a Mac, to look at the source
of a "direct mode" BASIC program?  With all the problems just trying to look
at it, how does one even create such a file?  How would one change a "direct
mode" program (for instance, to correct a bug)?  Any help would be
appreciated.

  Please reply via email or USnail ...
