(Bill Cambre) {ihnp4!}mtuxo!wjc Unfortunately, you have happened upon the original version of BASIC that the Apple series began with. Its called Integer BASIC, and can be found on the Apple II+ system master disk. Someone might want to post the file for you. The reason that much of these games are written in Integer BASIC is because it is faster the built- in Microsoft BASIC interpreter in the II+,IIe, and IIc. Good luck in finding a copy of Integer BASIC. -- Gaelan the Slightly Confused, Duke of the Plaeides and Lesser Hernias "Oh, if I would have done nothing out of laziness, how I would have respected my myself then." -Fyodor Dostoevsky
