BASICA was specially designed by IBM to run on IBM-only machines. It
ran from ROM, so there was more user memory available. A much better
substitute would be QBasic, which is capable of running old BASICA and
GWBASIC code with no modifications in most cases. You would have
more user mem in QBasic, plus your program would run much faster than
with GWBASIC.
