BASIC? GeeWizzz! Gag me with a MID$("*SPOON*!", 2, 5) -------------- I have been trying to run a program (if that's what you call BASIC) under GWBASIC which was written and saved in protected mode under BASICA. I get the error "Path not found in 25" and I'm kinda sure that the thing isn't trying to create a directory or open a file or anything like that. What are the incompatabilities with these two BASIC's. I thought GWBASIC was created to give everyone out there, daring enough to even attemp to write something useful in BASIC, the right stuff to *port* from PC's which is ROM dependant for it's BASIC. Can someone help me? (BASICA under DOS 2.1x - GWBASIC PC 6300 2.11) Does anyone have the code (source too?) to unprotect a BASIC program so I can figure this out. I saw the program on FIDO but I couldn't get my XMODEM to do the trick, you know, play fetch. This would be a big help. I would like this program reguardless of this problem's solution.
