Many of the older files on BROWNvm  contain the coded software in a form 
that must be executed from PRODOS (basic).  The files usually have the 
line

    CALL-151

Followed by a bunch of numbers.  for these files, delete all the text at 
the beginning of the file up to (but not including) the CALL-151 line.  
then delete any text lines at the end of the file.  these usually follow a

    bsave ......    

command.

Then get into basic and type

    EXEC file.name

and this should convert your program to binary.  You may now have to use 
shrinkit to unshrink the file.
