in thread World Builder: the recovery and archeology of old programs.

I wanted to thank you for your answer, kyle. I thought it interesting that you naturally gravitated to the use of a dispatch table in the menu, since the original Basic seems to be amenable to that approach. It doesn't hurt that Stephen Kimmel just about begins every functional block with a 'CLS' call.

I'd show code, but until I get an answer from Ziff-Davis, (they own the Creative Computing IP) I'll have to just show bits and pieces, stuff I've written.

    This is a bit of an afterward to this thread.

    1. I contacted Ziff-Davis who didn't feel they had the copyright.

    2. I contacted Steven Kimmel, who asked me to give him a copy of the program to look at before giving permission to post.

    3. He has recently given me permission to post.

    4. I have posted the translated code on my web site.
