---- Thanks to those who answers my earlier posting requesting to find a Disassembler program. ---- I am, however, still looking for a BASIC compilier if such a thing exists. I would like to get programs that normally run on BASICA or GWBASIC to be converted into executable files (ie, PROG.BAS -> PROG.EXE). I have seen such compiliers for other systems and I wonder if there is one available for the IBM PC. If anyone has any information of how, or if, I can obtain such a thing, let me know via EMAIL. Thanks in advance. :-) <<Jeff>> snsrjth@nmtsun.nmt.edu -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | <<Jeff>> | snsrjth@nmtsun.nmt.edu | | | {...unmvax!nmtsun!snsrjth} | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I have seen why not try Turbo Basic, Copyright 1987, Borland International, Inc. It won't accept BASICA or GWBASIC files as is, but with a little trickery, it can be done. Basically, (no pun intended), it involves listing the file to the disk. I'm sure there are a number of ways to do this, I just imported my program into Sidekick's notepad (it was only one screen long - I was testing this). Once it's loaded, Turbo Basic will read the text file as a program, and subsequently compile it (to memory or to an .EXE file), as well as run it. Later, !> !>g (Brian Greenberg)

Actually, with most BASIC interpreters for the IBM, you can save a file in ASCII format (which is what Turbo Basic requires, as well as Microsoft QuickBasic, and Microsoft Basic, and...). This is done by typing SAVE "FOO",A where you substitute your filename for FOO. Unless you want to write over your old program, you should pick a different filename. -- "Don't find a fault, | Marc Unangst find a remedy." | UUCP: mju@m-net.ann-arbor.mi.us -Henry Ford | UUCP path: ...!uunet!mailrus!clip!m-net!mju ---------------------+ Internet: mju%m-net%clip@umix.cc.umich.edu
