Aren't all BASICs pretty much useless. ;-) > I meant data files: I've never actually USED Chipmunk BASIC; just played around with it a bit. I have, otoh, actually run and modified a program using yabasic. True, it's bigger, but it seems to handle the kind of I/O you describe below... as well as color text printing. > 10 CLS: DIM DLIST$(49) > 15 OPEN "I",#1,"G:LIST.049" > 17 INPUT #1,NUMBR$ > 18 INPUT #1,SORT$ > 20 FOR J=1 TO 49 > 22 INPUT #1,D$ > 24 LET DLIST$(J)=D$ > 36 NEXT J > 38 CLOSE #1 http://yabasic.de/yabasic.htm#Files and more on input Not to mention, it has a lot more documentation, and still seems to be in development. (unfortunately, the sourceforge site uses https) Again, it's bigger at 154,172 bytes, but yabasic seems to be much more functional than Chipmunk BASIC. - Steve
