   I have had to port BASIC source code from a C64 to an Apple, (in fact
I'm working on porting "Masterdisk" right now...)  The only way I was ever
able to get it to work was with a terminal program that had built in routines
to convert from non-standard CBM ASCII to standard ASCII I could read with
computers from the rest of the world.  I also had no end of problems with the
1600 VICMODEM, apparently it refuses to work properly with any phones but the
old rotary dial desk style units...  The author of the C64 version of the
Masterdisk program also had his VICMODEM 1600 die an infant death.  A borrowed
1600 was only marginally usable.  Next time we will borrow a Anchor Automations
6470 1200bps unit when we need to port code...
