I just received my JLO SAFE Disk Basic V2.11 EPROM and it’s GRR-REAT. Here’s how I changed the BASIC in my A&J Microdrive version of Dohay/MSCRIPT to use it.
Load MSCRIPT and exit to BASIC. Enter the new lines 6 and 7. Add “”: GO SUB VAL “500” to the end of line 600 and delete line 605. Enter the new BASIC from line 610 to line 750. Leave lines 990 and 991, but delete lines 995 and 996.
Run the program and make a fresh SAVE by following the prompts. If a tape or disk error ever stops the program, simply RUN to get back into it. As an incidental benefit, the BASIC program is now 44 bytes shorter. If you are opposed to tape storage or need more room, you could delete the “TAPE or OLIGER” subroutine, all references to it, the expressions conditional upon the variable named dos, and all lines relating to tape operations. Tape backup could still be done in the direct command mode from BASIC.
