My father, a retired structural engineer, wrote several 
mathematical analysis programs for his business way back when in 
the old, Neanderthal-style GW-BASIC, using line numbers and all 
that nonsense. The source code for GW-BASIC is stored in binary 
format. 

A real challenge!

I suppose I could convert that binary format to ASCII without to 
much trouble. After that it would be the same as mixing C++ with 
Visual Basic, wouldn’t it? To mix C++ with C, I declare the 
function, “extern “C”. So what about mixing C++ with GW-BASIC 
converted to ASCII?
