"Bad file mode"?
Back to QBasic FAQ Main Page.
GW Basic, QuickBasic, and BasicA, all used a binary save format. This format was created to save disk space on early computers. QBasic *.BAS files are saved ONLY in ASCII text format, so any file that displays this error cannot be loaded into QBasic, unless it first is loaded into another Basic editor and saved as ASCII.
NOTE: Just because a file has a *.BAS extension, does not necessarily mean that it is a QBasic file. It could be one of any number of Basic program files... including VisualBasic.
