# Translation Of SUPERBASIC To FORTRAN 77

As a gentle introduction, let me tell you how I came to write this article/note/letter, call it what you will! Earlier this year I received a phone call from, as he explained, Bob Dyl the publisher of IQLR concerning the QLEA ROM switch. Having got over the surprise of receiving a call from the U.S.A., we exchanged some information about each other and reached an agreement over a ROM switch. A week or so later Bob called again to say how impressed he was with the switch and during the conversation he talked me into writing something for IQLR.
