Hi, I have looked up the FAQ file and couldn't find questions on this subject. Here's my problem: I have written BASIC programs on an IBM-PC. Due to speed constraints, I am trying to run them on a VAX. So I used Kermit under the hope that the IBM files are in ASCII. But they are not! Is there someway to convert/save my programs in ASCII? Thanks for reading this message. Murthy

I am assuming you are using BASICA (or GWBASIC) that came with DOS. To save the file in ascii, use the command SAVE "filename",A Another note: If speed is your main concern, try using QuickBASIC from Microsoft. Your program will run many, many times faster. -Josh
