Isn't BASICA in DOS 3? I think that is what I needed to get some of my IBM
ICLAS programs to work, so I just copied the basica from the old dos to the
newer dos directory. THe programs ran fine then. There is also a note in
the IBM DOS manual about a file called remline.bas that is supposed to help
convert basica programs to qbasic. I don't really know much about basic,
though.
