The files on this disk are in ASCII form so they can be read by the greatest number of versions of BASIC. In order to make the program you will use load faster you should save it in "tokenized" form. An example follows of how to load and save an ASCII program on an IBM PC or compatible with a basic "work disk" in drive A: and this disk in drive B: A>BASIC <-- get into BASIC (basic sign-on message here) LOAD "B:HELICAL.ASC" <-- loads the ASCII program from this disk SAVE "A:HELICAL.BAS <-- saves as HELICAL.BAS on your work disk
