Subj : Slmr.Doc To : Tom Laermans From : Greg Mayman Date : Mon Jul 31 2000 01:00 am -=> Tom Laermans said to Jasen Betts -=> about "Slmr.Doc" on 26 Jul 00 00:08:28..... TL> I have Turbo Basic, QuickBasic, QBasic, BasicA ... And of any of them, TL> I have NO idea what length they support ;-) It's easy enough to check, if you have the time. You can use the following program for example, which should run in all forms of BASIC... 10 LET X$ = X$ +"A" 20 PRINT LEN(X$) 30 GOTO 10 When it overflows, just look at the last output.
