Subject: Re[2]: Text conversion
That's true, but many years ago, I remember I bodged a small program
together, which took a text file and wrote it in to SAM line by line
using a MasterBasic command.
I think my PCSUITE can convert a text file into a basic program on the SAM
(long time since I tried it) allowing you to write the program on a PC and
then transfer it to the SAM. Of course if you mistype anything, the PC makes
no check on the syntax.

Can't remember the command off the top of my head (been a long time),
but as long as the syntax was correct, it would enter it as if you
were writing the line.
It was useful before the emulators as you could write a bunch of lines
elsewhere, (on a PC at work for example!),and bulk enter them in to a real
SAM
later on.
It was not ideal, but saved some time re-entering lines again.

Hi Aley,
Aley Keprt wrote:
you can import texts from Sam to PC also with STI. It's a part of
"Aley's
Sam Utils", see www.keprt.cz/progs/
I've downloaded the file "Aley's Sam Utils" and also
Net Framework 23Mb file ;-(
I've wrote a simple basic program with MS-Dos Edit.
But in converion step with STI, the program tell me a few error:
Unknown code 13 and code 10 at various position.
Probably not recognize the CR and LF .
Perhaps, I've used the wrong options with STI converter ;-(
Many thanks.
Ciao,
Paolo Borzini
