I see there is a project on the Club100.org site which could help with the "pain" of early Basic, namely line numbers & 2-character variable names. It is NumBA.<br />http://club100.org/memfiles/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=Miles%20Willmek/NumBA<br /><br />NumBA is: a VBScript utility to convert structured source (a la VBScript) into line numbered source programs suitable for running under Model 100 BASIC. Supports REPEAT/UNTIL, WHILE/WEND, Block IF/THEN/ELSEIF/ELSE/ENDIF, SELECT / CASE, Subroutines (SUB/ENDSUB) and Functions (FUNC/ENDFUNC) with parameter passing and recursion, long variable names, line labels, macros and more.<br /><br />PhilipAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242800444053993932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870640620668961176.post-13842020389240892492014-08-03T20:17:00.564-07:002014-08-03T20:17:00.564-07:00Hi there Tez,

It really kills my sense of aesthetics, though. A little obsession I'll have to get over :-)Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491259029760076753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870640620668961176.post-79131566631222046032014-08-01T13:04:31.792-07:002014-08-01T13:04:31.792-07:00Great summary Earl.

The question is "Why RENUMBER at all?" I know it looks neater on the printout but there downsides as you rightly point out.<br /><br />The OSI Challenger 8k BASIC doesn't have RENUM so it wasn't an option but even when I occasionally coded with my System 80 (12k MS BASIC..which had RENUM...and also AUTO) all those years ago, I avoided using it. I just used huge increments in the hope that I'd left enough room to fit additions in. <br /><br />In saying that it doesn't always work. I have to confess to manually renumbering the OSI code in a section because it was just too much of a squeeze. Which of course is mostly why RENUM was invented.(-:<br /><br />Next time I'll increment by 100 from the get-go!<br /><br />TezTerry Stewart (aka Tezza)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05859918921036668736noreply@blogger.com
