hi Tom.
the problem however is that for eamon, you are talking about a huge existing
body of work, all with very specific ways of working. The reason frank is
using basic is simply one of necessity and compatibility with the older
programs.
Call it outdated if you like, but essentially it's like saying "Well that
old black and white film real of casablanka from the 30's is outdated and
won't run on modern digital media, lets reshoot the entire film!).
If your going to undertake a monumental preservation project, I'd actually
suggest writing an accessible dosbox for playing text adventure games would
be a much easier project to do, have the same affect, and be usefull in
other circumstances, indeed last I heard frank was investigating something
like this himself precisely because of the compatibility problem.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
