Hello Diederic, BASIC is not dangerous. I'm programming in this language for nearly 15 years, and never experienced any problems. Programs like Thunderbirds are go and Findit are running under dos 2.X and are written basic. So I guess something else went wrong on you HD.

I'm the one who's asking some questions about a couple of things lately. Hope you're not already fed up with me, because I'm in (a little) trouble: the root directory of my 0th partition (FAT12) of my Sunrise IDE harddrive is all screwed up. DIR as well as MM show lots of garbage, and all I did was a little BASIC programming, nothing out of the ordinary. The COMMAND2.COM and MSXDOS2.SYS were gone, as well as a couple of other files (including my BASIC program) but the directories seem unaffected. The harddrive should be fine: it's about two years old, and SCANDISK.COM revealed no errors. chkdsik /f doesn't help. Is there some program which can clean up my FAT, or perhaps the partition? Backing up, reformatting and then refilling the entire drive would cost me weeks. And another question, is BASIC dangerous? I did call my program AUTOEXEC.BAS.
