Watson RE: Running BASIC programs The program you have just purchased was written in the BASIC programming language. Originally, we distributed only the BASIC language source file and required that you use a BASIC interpreter to run the program. We now distribute BASIC programs in compiled form. This means that you do not have to load BASIC prior to running the program. Until the documentation is updated to reflect this change, please refer to the following instructions to start program 022, titled "Decision Aids for Sugarcane Growers: Stubble Replacement Analysis and Mechanical Harvester Analysis". First, make a duplicate copy of the distribution disk. Store the distribution disk in a safe place and use the duplicate copy as your working disk. To run the program simply type: MENU at the DOS prompt and press the Enter (or Return) key. Once you have started the program, the instructions in the documentation should apply. In some cases, the documentation or program may allow you the option of exiting to BASIC or DOS. With a compiled program, regardless of which you choose, you will exit to DOS. If you need more space on your working disk, you can delete any files with the extension ".BAS". These are BASIC source files and you do not need them to run the program. If you have any questions about this program, please contact the IFAS Software Support office, Bldg 120 Room 203, Gainesville, FL 32611 or phone (904) 392-7853.
