All

I have found it useful when doing the programming on the controller to
always do it at the factory level first.  Once it is working, I then have a
file called, codes.txt, that makes in different from the manual.  It also
helps when asking questions on the controller to have it at factory level
programming.

Below is a program written in basic.  It will take a text file, dump file,
written for RLC-3 and remove the first letter "C" on the line.  It will also
remove the first " * " it see's and put a space in its place.  If ran on
your dump files, it will do below:

example

C000*12* ; comments

would now be 

000 12* ; comments

If you files is at factory progamming level this will work.

I will have a program written for me, by my son, that will change some of
the basic  changes necessary for the new ver 1.53 on the RLC-3 dumps.  I
don't have a good understanding of the changes as of yet.  When I do, some
will be added to this file.

PROGRAM TEST STARTS HERE.

PRINT "Enter the name of the input file"
INPUT infil$
OPEN infil$ FOR INPUT AS #1
outfile$ = "n" + infil$
OPEN outfile$ FOR OUTPUT AS #2

WHILE NOT EOF(1)
LINE INPUT #1, line$
REM if it starts with a C
IF (LEFT$(line$, 1) = "C") THEN
PRINT line$
REM cut off the 1st character
        line$ = RIGHT$(line$, LEN(line$) - 1)

locc = INSTR(line$, "*")
REM PRINT "loc is "; locc
REM PRINT "line is"; line$
        line$ = LEFT$(line$, locc - 1) + " " + RIGHT$(line$, LEN(line$) -
(locc))
PRINT line$
REM INPUT junk
END IF

PRINT #2, line$
WEND
