I have another question though. Is Apple BASIC compatible with programs
written with another version of BASIC? IE, can I write a program on a PC of
the same era and use on my lle? There are a lot of programs I have in Apple
BASIC that I want to run on my IBM 5150 too.
Kindasorta. If it doesn't use Apple-specific stuff, it usually isn't that
difficult to translate. The IBM dialect is fairly closely related to
Apple's (both were written by Microsoft) so if you know both dialects
(fpbasic and gwbasic) you can usually translate basic stuff from the Apple
to the PC. If it uses PEEK, POKE or CALL though...
