EXTRA INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPEXPA.BAS ! Before expanding a basfile do these 2 steps first: 1) renum your file with the command: RENUM 50,,50 2) save this as an ascii file -----> SAVE"filename.bas",a Before compressing an ascii basfile check this first: - in a REM or ' line you should never have a : character - PRINT "whatever and should always end with " <--- strange things happen if you don't have the " at then end - make sure your file is as small as possible. So RENUM is OK and NOT renum 50,,50 Abobe quirks I have discovered when I expanded or compressed the fraction.bas file. See results in zip file... Enjoy! Eric Tchong
