Most BASICS, however, are not quite that straightforward. For example,

the IBM-PC prints the following. -

When the IBM-PC BASIC interpreter sends hex code OD (carriage re- turn) it adds an extra hex OA (line feed). Hex code 1A (end-of-file) also gets

special treatment: the interpreter does not send it at all. This can cause problems in programs that generate graphics or download character data, but there is a solution. Try changing line 20 in the preceding program and adding the coding shown below.

Coding for IBM-PC with monochrome display:
