While filtering an old file to decide whether to keep or scrap, I came across three pages of green music-ruled printout with a BASIC program written by me in 1983.

I decided that it would come in useful. Eventually I want to convert it to C or C++ but I want to test it in an MBASIC or MSBASIC compatible interpreter first.

I have installed :

Vintage Basic - I cannot find out how to load the source in.
Gambas3 - I have 29 instal errors that will not shift.

Any advice would be welcome.

TIA
