Not so, Basic/V is still very useful for for many scripting and editing 
tasks.

My preference is not use image statements at all. I much prefer to use a 
print string and load it directly with the desired data items.
This method is much easier to get exactly the desired results.
a$="    "+b$(1,30)+"    "+d$(1,4)
print a$

Basic Forever!
