 I apologise. It was the absoft compiler, not HiSoft. I got home, looked
at the bookshelf where my BASIC manuals are gathering dust, and there it was,
AC/BASIC, by absoft. Copywright 1987. I guess my info _is_ a little out of
date.

 The HiSoft compiler sounds good. I think I will check it out, thanks.

 Maybe I will port that program after all, you make it sound so easy. :-)

 Tsk, Tsk. You young-uns are always throwing stone-ages. ;-)

 I guess it won't be _that_ easy to port.

 Thanks for the info.
