I found a copy online: http://pastebin.com/2jZpufS6 but at a quick glance, it does not match the listing I am looking at, one that I printed out way back in the early 70's. And, the listing is bigger than I am willing to key, about 50 pages of line printer output. I will look at converting the online copy back to match my listing, sometime. I used to have a copy on tape, that I got in the early 70s, but I doubt that it is still readable. Besides, all of my 1/2 inch tape drives have died. :-( Except for the one that runs on 48V DC, for which I don't have a power supply. And I haven't seen it in years. :-) arargh -- ArarghMail204 at [drop the 'http://www.' from ->] http://www.arargh.com BCET Basic Compiler Page: http://www.arargh.com/basic/index.html
