Its been over 20 years since I have heard the term 'freeware'. The OP first seems to suggest that he wants to translate this code to python or some other language. He then points out that the guy they have doing the re-write will only write it in True BASIC. I'm not seeing how this has anything to do with python, except that there was mention that it wouldn't be fast enough. Is True BASIC fast? That being said, I'm guessing that this thing is used in some academic setting. If that's true, why not get a student (who will be much more versed in modern programming languages and techniques) to document and rewrite the code. When you start off with the requirement that the new code will be True BASIC you may find that it serves your purposes, but over time no one will know what to make of the code since no one learns BASIC (or FORTRAN) anymore I don't think -- Joel Goldstick http://joelgoldstick.com
