I'm trying to get some code that was written in 1977 working again. I've
gotten a PDP-11 emulator working but the version of BASIC that is on it
doesn't know the 'FILE #1="DNG1' command. I've been digging through
BASIC
manuals for BASIC-11 and BASIC-Plus but so far they either don't have an
file reading or their file reading commands don't match that syntax.
Neither the ?file? command nor the ?restore? command as used in this example resemble any
BASIC I know. It?s impossible to guess what they are supposed to do. Do you know? If
yes, please describe what those statements do, and we?ll be able to give you the
Basic-Plus equivalents.
