Hey Guys,
Okay, I have fixed this bug (in src/file.cpp). The de-tokenizer was not
testing for quoted strings. I pushed the changes to the git repo here
if anyone wants to pull it and compile prior to an official VT 1.8 release:
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/virtualt/code virtualt

Does that include bug fixes from v1.7?
I sent Ken a PM back a while ago describing a bug I found, but got no
response.
The problem occurs when transferring a BASIC program from VirtualT to
the PC in ASCII format. The bug concerns any BASIC program that uses
embedded ASCII characters with the value greater than 127d directly in
PRINT statements. When these characters are used (for example, the
downward pointing triangle, 167d A7h), the ASCII character value is
not preserved in the saved output file, but instead a BASIC keyword is
substituted.
For example (+ character is really 167d, input with the keyboard
sequence [CODE]_ ):
A program containing the line:
11510 PRINT@280,"++";
is saved in the ASCII format output file as:
11510 PRINT@280,"GOTOGOTO";
I am not sure if the keyword GOTO is the actual substitution, as I am
away from my "development" computer and can verify, but it illustrates
the basic problem. Likely, as BASIC keywords are probably represented
as values higher than 127d, and the routine in VirtualT to save a file
on the PC in ASCII format is not setting a flag to track the
occurrences of the " character pairs and interpret any characters
within as ASCII characters and not BASIC keywords.
Regards,
Peter

Hey Guys,
Steven Hurd also converted the SourceForge.net cvs repo to a git repo.
Both he and I have been making updates to that repo. I am working
toward a VT 1.8 release.
