REM Remover

by F. NEIL SIMMS

REM Remover will delete all REMark statements from any BASIC program. Although programs without REMs are harder to modify, they run faster and take up less memory than programs with REMs. Type in REM Remover while checking it with TYPO II and LIST it to disk or cassette.

To use REM Remover, first ENTER or LOAD any BASIC program into memory. Next, ENTER the REM Remover program and type GOTO 31500. NOTE: Make sure your program doesn't GOTO or GOSUB any REM statements. Such programs will not run when it's REMs are removed.

When all the REMs have been removed from your program, REM Remove will erase itself, leaving behind you "REM-less" BASIC program.
