========================================================== Altair Basic Programs Compiled By Michael O'Malley (March 2002) ========================================================== This Apple 2 disk image contains a bunch of ancient Basic programs for the 1975 Altair Computer - the first easily affordable Personal Computer. In March 2002, I went through a bunch the old Altair programs I had collected off the internet, and adapted these for the Apple 2 computer, debugged them, tidied them up, improved the screen I/O, and uploaded them to an Apple 2 disk image for use with Apple 2 emulators. Almost all of these old Altair programs were riddled with dozens of errors - logic, run time, and syntax errors ! N.B. These were errors - and NOT differences between the Apple 2 and Altair Basic !! I fixed many dozens of errors in these programs, but I do not believe for a second that I fixed them all. I didn't want to spend days doing this. So, it is highly likely that these programs are still far from perfect !! I have never owned or used a real Altair. But, I still thought the programs were worth preserving. I have many other Altair programs, but these are the best. Most of the rest are too Altair specific to make them worth transferring. I have included the text files containing the final Apple 2 Basic code inside the distribution ZIP file. I would like to thank the authors of the Apple Oasis emulator which made transferring these files to an Apple 2 disk image so easy. Thanks guys !! Enjoy ! Long Live the Apple ][ !!
