Structure-In-BASIC

A technique for writing structured programs in classic (line-numbered)
BASIC.


Structure-In-BASIC (SIB) is intended for beginning programmers who
have been introduced to classic BASIC and wish to create more complex
programs (programs too long to display on a single screen without
paging/scrolling) before learning another language with better support
for structured programming, or for advanced programmers who wish to
create structured programs in BASIC.

SIB is composed of a set of source code patterns for implementing
standard program structures in BASIC. The patterns should be simple to
insert into program source, easily recognizable and distinctive, and
undamageable by line renumbering. They should also assume no knowledge
of other programming languages on the part of the programmer.
