Has anyone either found a utility to do this or done this and can offer some hints on what is involved? There are some routines on the old IBasic CD that I bought years ago and tackling the conversion appears to be a challenge.
TIA.

I didn't think there was any difference, but I never used IBasic and really don't used CBasic.
Graham will be able to give you a better answer.
Tom,
As far as I know IBasic is completely compatible with CBasic ..
Any .iba program file should run in CBasic if you just rename the file extension to .cba
CBasic was a tidied up version, that in later versions, placed the sample pograms on the user's C drive to keep more recent Microsoft OS's happy - a bit of a nuisance I always thought - but it was easy to copy them to wherever you loaded the CBasic system.
A few newer facilities were added to CBasic, but were never fully tested and did give a few problems.
For that reason, I still use version 1.0. You can I believe, still get one of the early versions from this site on request.
(On the other hand, I may have misread your question Tom. You've found some IBasic code that is not easily converted to CBasic - I'd like to know what is involved - it seems unusual ::))
all the best, :)
Graham
