-
- Generally not much, but realisticly a hell of a lot.
- The largest problem (for a bit program, it depends) is changing the
- subs to procedures.
-
- Next change the Lcase$ to Lower$ and Ucase$ to Upper$, and you will
- have to find/write your own ltrim$ and rtrim$ functions (I've got one
- here SOMEWHERE... Arrg!). Pokes and Peeks are useless to translate
- unless you know how the IBM and Amigas work. Ditto for interrupts and
- Call Absolute.
-
- The sound command and gfx commands need changing, and you need to
- change the screen command (if used) to open a screen with the
- appropriate res/size.
-
- Aside from that and a few other things, theres not much difference.
