I have a book with BASIC code intended to run on a DOS system (like BASICA
or GW-BASIC). I can port it but I feel that running the original and
ported code on the same data is the best way to validate the port.
I've installed Bywater BASIC and a package intended for 5.2 called
basic-1.20-10. The old 5.x package runs but it fails every time I try to
load a file with "Type mismatch file". The Bywater BASIC doesn't support
all the DOS features like INPUT$.
Can anyone suggest an alternative. I may have to find an actual DOS system!
