- I have a two BASIC programs that I have transferred from an IBM PC to a
- Commodore 64 using Kermit 2.0 and a serial cable.  I saved them as ascii
- files on the PC before I transferred them, and they are now safely on a
- C64 disk as SEQ files.  Now, I need to know how to convert them to PRG
- files.  Is there any way to do this?  Perhaps someone has written a program
- to do this.  I know next to nothing about the Commodore, so please assume
- that I know nothing.
				Thanks in advance,

CBM basic programs are stored in a tokenized format which also includes links.
You cannot, as someone suggested, change the file type byte in the directory
and expect to load it. There is a very short program which will convert it for
you, however I'll have to dig it up. It opens the SEQ file, sets the default
input file to the the SEQ file instead of the keyboard. This goes through the
basic tokenizer. Give me a couple of days and I'll post it.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to discern who is
responsible for these opinions, the poster or the company he works for.
Good luck!!
