SWI Name/Number Converter for Basic Programs
by Alan Wrigley

This application allows SYS calls in Basic programs to be converted between using full strings (as in SYS "Wimp_Poll") and using numbers (as in SYS &400C7). The latter call is executed much more quickly than the former, but of course using strings makes the program much easier to follow. Thus an easy method of switching between the two will make testing easy (use the full strings) but will allow a fast version to be produced at the end (by converting to numbers).

When run, the application installs an icon on the icon bar. Dragging a Basic program to this icon will, after some delay, pop up a Save box allowing you to save the program with all the SYS calls changed according to the choices in the icon bar menu. Choosing "Number>Name" in the menu will change all SYS calls to full strings, and choosing "Name>Number" changes SYS calls to numbers.
