Gordon,
Ah flashback to Basic/3000 days. As I recall this was the filecode for
"Basic Saved Data" file. Do you happen to have the source for the program which
creates this? You may have to write a quick Basic/3000 program to read it and
output it as ASCII;
Was it possibly created by the editor called....(help me out here folks...).
Whatever it was called, it was written in Basic/3000 and used tags like
".bold". Oh well... They say the mind is one of the first things to go....
Either way, I don't think it's in EBCDIC format. It's ASCII (and or Binary),
but the layout depends on the program which created it.
Is there a program which uses this file? Can you tell us about it?

Subject: Basic data files
Hi Everyone!
I have a question for you - Can anyone help me in converting a BASD file?
The file is called "test at 383W 1 record per block a total of 2171 records"
I need to convert this to ascii so that I can download to a PC.
First, IS this possible or do you have to do some things to a BASD file first?
I am completely ignorant when it comes to Basic so any help is extremely
appreciated. I tried a fcopy with a ebcdicin but the data didn't look like it
was converted.
Thanks for all the help!
Gordon Wong
