In order to run any BASIC program, you will need BASICA or GWBASIC which
is usually included on your copy of the DOS disk. You can recognize a program
written in BASIC by looking at the three digit extension (filename.BAS) BAS.
The best way to run a BASIC program is by putting a disk with BASICA or
GWBASIC in one drive and the program disk in the other. For example, to run a
BASIC program with the name STARTREK.BAS, perform the following steps:
1. Put the BASIC disk in DRIVE A: and the program disk in DRIVE B:
2. Log to the drive with the program disk in it by entering "B:" (without the
quotes, of course.)
3. Type "A:BASICA STARTREK" or "A:GWBASIC STARTREK" and press ENTER.
If you don't have two drives,
1. Copy GWBASIC or BASICA to the program disk.
2. Type "BASICA STARTREK" or "GWBASIC STARTREK" and press ENTER.
