1) Changed the copyright notice to include Digitalk's copyright
2) Discovered an erratic programming technique that created
unpredictable results using certain BASIC functions where
parameters derived using rnd(), time$(), date$(), and any
other function where the result is not always the same.
Problem fixed.
3) When a floating point value was passed to a single
dimensioned array as an index, a system primitive notice
was produced, and the program was halted. This problem
is now fixed.
4) READ, DATA, and RESTORE are added to conform more to
Microsoft's BASICs and to school texts.
5) Now if a non-integer is used to index a MID$() function, it
is truncated and execution continues instead of crashing.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
