 need help for gwbasic

Hi:

I am trying to open some binary files associated with gwbasic
programm. when I try to load that file I get error message
"line buffer overflow". I want to print this files in ascii to
modify. Files are binery.

other question is there are some data file which is also in binary,
How I can open that file to modify? gwbasic does not open, When I try to
load its tells " direct statement"

Thanks in advance,

sanjiv

Error# 23 Line buffer overflow. An attempt has been made to
        input a line that has too many characters.

Error# 66 Direct statement in file.
This is usually caused by a line in an ascii file which lacks
 a line number.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry to say I can suggest no remedy for either except that there
 are GWBasic programs available which will read in a binary file
 and convert it to a numbered series of DATA lines.

You can find one such program listed in:-
"Basic Programming Inside and Out" by H.J.Bomanns.
 ABACUS (Data Becker). ISBN 1-55755-084-0.

You don't use the LOAD command for binary files, data files, or anything
that is not a Basic program.
