Random Dungeon Generator in 4 lines anyone?

Yeah, but it is the compiler which doesn't take more than 256 chars. When you load that program in, say, PDS 7.1 and you hit on "Compile", the IDE splits the lines into 256 chars one using "_" and sends them to the compiler. Try compiling it from the command line: Call BC LONG.BAS /T/O/C:512 from the command line and see.

Code:

H:\>bc long.bas /t/o/c:512
