Nostalgic BASIC porting

[Pjot]

Folks,

For nostalgic fun I have ported another small program to BaCon.


' Arrays start at position 1 in classic BASIC's
OPTION BASE 1

' The actual program
PRINT TAB$(33), "LOVE"
PRINT TAB$(15), "CREATIVE COMPUTING MORRISTOWN, NEW JERSEY"
PRINT: PRINT: PRINT
PRINT "A TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ARTIST, ROBERT INDIANA."
PRINT "HIS GREAT WORK WILL BE REPRODUCED WITH A MESSAGE OF"
PRINT "YOUR CHOICE UP TO 60 CHARACTERS. IF YOU CAN'T THINK OF"
PRINT "A MESSAGE, SIMPLE TYPE THE WORD 'LOVE'": PRINT
INPUT "YOUR MESSAGE, PLEASE ", A$: L=LEN(A$)
DECLARE T$[120]: FOR I=1 TO 10: PRINT: NEXT I
FOR J=0 TO INT(60/L)
FOR I=1 TO L
T$[J*L+I]=MID$(A$, I, 1)
NEXT I: NEXT J
C=0
LABEL _200: A1=1: P=1: C=C+1: IF C=37 THEN GOTO _999
PRINT
LABEL _210: READ A: A1=A1+A: IF P=1 THEN GOTO _300
FOR I=1 TO A: PRINT " ";: NEXT I: P=1: GOTO _400
LABEL _300: FOR I=A1-A TO A1-1: PRINT T$[I];: NEXT I: P=0
LABEL _400: IF A1>60 THEN GOTO _200
GOTO _210
DATA 60,1,12,26,9,12,3,8,24,17,8,4,6,23,21,6,4,6,22,12,5,6,5
