Files Saved as Text Are Always Loaded Tokenized in Interpreter (20505)
This article was previously published under Q20505
SUMMARY
This article applies to the interpreter in Microsoft QuickBASIC
Version 1.00, and Microsoft BASIC Interpreter Versions 1.00, 1.01,
2.00, 2.10, and 3.00 for the Apple Macintosh.
Program files that are loaded into the interpreter environment are
stored in memory in Compressed format -- even programs that are stored
on disk in Text format. Text format programs on disk are converted
into Compressed (or "tokenized") form when they are loaded into BASIC.
When you Save with Text format, the programs are converted from
Compressed form in memory to Text form and written to the disk.
Programs saved in Compressed format load quicker that files saved in
Text format.
