- The BASIC compatibility module provides miscellaneous functions that emulate the behaviour
- of 'classic' BASIC.
- The functions in this module have largely been superceded by BlitzMax features such as
- 'string slicing', and the Find, Replace, Trim, ToLower and ToUpper string methods.
- However, for programmers from a classic BASIC background, these utility functions should make
- the transition to BlitzMax a little easier.
- NOTE: Strings in classic BASIC are '1 based'. This means that the first character within a
- string is at index 1, the second at index 2 and so on. However, BlitzMax strings are '0 based',
- meaning the first character is at index 0, the second at index 1 and so on. The #instr and
- #Mid functions in this module retain the '1 based' behaviour of classic BASIC.
