Subject: BASCOM Help Needed

   We need to run the Microsoft MBASIC compiler BASCOM.  I have the
program (I am still looking for LINK, but I think the SLR linker will
do), but I cannot locate a manual and do not know the syntax to use.
Can anyone help with a quick rundown on the syntax and/or a reference to
a published book or article on the subject.  Thanks.

   This need, by the way, arose in my capacity as a Boston Computer
Society trouble-shooter.  Someone's accounting package, written in
Microsoft BASIC, suddenly stopped working properly.  The user has the
source code and, upon examining it, discovered an error in some date
processing steps.  Everything was fine until this month.  He thinks he
has the fix but must now recompile the code.
