Hmm. I would not expect much of that code to work on the BASIC that's 
under OS/8 without changes as well.
I also checked another file, and found a comment that they should all 
work on RSTS/E and RSTS-11, except for SPACWR and another one, and of 
course I did most of my examination on SPACWR.
So that explains it. That specific file have more issues. Maybe the 
others will work fine in BASIC+ then.
