Hello.
Has anyone out there gotten Phi Cockcroft's 1986 program Phil's Basic
to work on a Sun/Sparc?  It needs a proper termcap files, I believe,
as well as perhaps some changes to the pointer definitions.
Ironically, we got this to compile on the CRDS, a monolithic machine
that had it's own version of unix, but I can't get it going on a
standard sun...
  Of course, if anyone has a basic-to-c or even basic-to-fortran
intepreter, I would appreciate the source from that, it would solve
things nicely.
  All this effort is to get the PD Trim-90 IBM proton damage program
to work on a faster, better platform.
