Re: Wanted: Applesoft BASIC files

[rogerp@junkkc.rr.com (Roger P)]

Ellen,

Here is an Idea.  Use Apple Commander

http://sourceforge.net/projects/applecommander/

to extract some Applesoft programs from the disk image archives at 

ftp.apple.asimov.net

It will extract any applesoft basic file from a disk image to a .bas
text file. There are tons of disk images there with Applesoft BASIC
programs on them.   You could get all of the classics like Lemonade
Stand, Apple Trek, Brickout..etc..etc.  Plenty to test with.  If your
students get a working copy of a Applesoft Basic Interpreter going on
the PC, I would love to see it!
