It's not a complaint, it's a discussion. I don't even use Laddie so far. I've only been using dlplus because I just prefer plain c as a requirement vs mono/.net. Simple preferrence for me. If I wasn't so averse to .net, I'm sure I would be able to modify Laddie from source to suit my personal

I will say that adding a tokenizer is good and I may eventually do it. Correcting the extension was the quicker fix. -- John.

It's years too late for this observation obviously, but it sounds like all along, the convention should have been to store the portable/viewable on-line ascii versions of these files as name.ba.txt, or name.bas, so as not to collide with either name.ba or name.do, because frequently name.do
