STRINGS IN BASIC (AGAIN) G.T.Klement

After reading INMC NEWS 80/3, I think you will possibly be interested in a routine which saves and loads string arrays in BASIC.

Since I am a beginner in machine code programming, I am sure there are better solutions so take it for a first step to solve this problem.

Here is a ZEAP file with the source code, so you may easier test this routine. After the ZEAP file I have added a short BASIC program for demonstration.
