SAVE "filename", A

That will save the source code in ASCII on your XT.  If you can no longer use
the BASIC on your XT, then someone referred to a program available from SimTel
called, I believe RB58.ZIP which converts tokenized BASIC to ASCII.

I am looking for information on running a basica program
(yes from IBM personal dos 3.1) on a Pentium.  The code worked
where it was originally constructed, an XT, but won't run on a Pentium.
The system either hangs or returns an invalid DOS version message.
I've tried setting the version of DOS reported by DOS but that does
not work.  Added "setver basica 3.1" (may have arg ordered wrong)
in the Autoexec and rebooted but still no luck.

If I could just look at the original code and convert to flat ascii
files I could fix for qbasic but the *.bas files are not flat ascii!
Anyone know the format?  The XT barely works, (thats why a Pentium is
now in use) and basica xxx.bas won't yield anything useable, instead the
XT hangs.

Thanks,
