I recently downloaded a BASIC program from BYTENET onto a C64.  The problem is
this.  The program ended up in an ASCII sequential-type file.  I cannot get it
loaded to run in this form.  Looking at other BASIC programs on the disc, I saw
that they were of type "PROGRAM".  So, I read the sequential file into another
file of type "PROGRAM", one line at a time.  This produced garbage. (GIGO?).
So, what do I do now?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in
advance.
