Saw on the VICE mailing a person saying you could save a BASICv2 program as a text file via the following:

My jaw dropped when I first read it and had been dying to try it. Then today when I read the code again it hit me, I was equating text file with host-system text file. IMO it would have been more appropriate to say this save a program to a SEQ file.

Nevertheless, this is still a nice little trick. Newer versions of c1541 can extract SEQ files too so I'm curious to know if the extracted SEQ file shows petscii chars like {clr} appropriate or they'll have to be translated. An experiment for the weekend maybe?

#Introduction

Greeting, I'm Sam. Basically I created this account and now access it via #Tor because I live in the US and fear for our safety, security, and privacy from our own government now. It's a disgrace.

I'm into old computers (#Retrocomputing) from the late 70s and early 80s, mostly #Commodore, #Atari, #Sinclair, #AppleII, (gotta specify the 'ii' else I'll get a bunch of modern apple junk), #Acorn, etc.

I know #BASICv2 and #6510ASM, along with modern #C, #Perl, #Pascal, etc. I've also wanted to relearn #Prolog (CP3...😜 )

I'm a straight male but I hope that doesn't matter as it doesn't matter to me what you are. I believe people deserve to live their lives, their way to be happy. No one is above others. It's when beliefs are pushed on others we have problems.

Thank you for taking the time to read this far and I guess I'm supposed to end with a "Like and subscribe", but I think here that means "Follow if you'd like". 😆
