Converting BASICA Programs

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Remember the following points when converting BASICA programs to QBasic:
■ Save the BASICA program in ASCII format. QBasic cannot use programs that
are saved in BASICA's binary format.
■ Use the /MBF command option when starting QBasic. The /MBF option enables
QBasic to read and write BASICA data files.
■ Change CALL statements to CALL ABSOLUTE. The BASICA CALL statement is
equivalent to QBasic's CALL ABSOLUTE.
In addition, you may want to use REMLINE.BAS to remove unnecessary line
numbers from the programs you are converting. QBasic does not require
line numbers and removing them can improve a program's readability.
