You're 100% correct, Rob. Man, I hate brain blocks like that. In looking it over in more detail, it's very clean and simple BASIC, so I'm not surprised "General Error" got it to work under BASICA. In fact, this is an excellent candidate for "porting" to nearly every classic computer with even a mediocre BASIC interpreter (which was naturally most of them, save for the VideoBrain) and limited memory.
[On an interesting side note, I have several early 80's BASIC programming books that use the BASIC in the TRS-80 as the run-time model and then just provide notes for converting to other BASICs--that could be due to the high sales at the time as well as the straightforward nature of its version of the language]
This would be fantastic to try on my Exidy Sorcerer, assuming it's for that. Which BASIC is this for, Jeffry?
I'm guessing this was for the TRS-80 (Model I). The first line says:
1 'COPYRIGHT (C) CLOAD 1979
2 'K. WILLIAMS, 3250 VERMONT SW, GRANDVILLE, MI 49418
