It is apparently the very first version, written in BASIC. And the source code is a scanned printout. So not very useful/interesting.

In the same manner, the source code for a very early Hiarcs has also been released. It is also in BASIC.

Hi Dann
Where can I find the Hiarcs code in Basic? As many of you know I only program in Basic at this time.
Thanks
Bill

Here is the source code for Hiarcs 0.3 (1981) and Hiarcs 0.5 (1983):
http://www.hiarcs.com/resurrect_hiarcs.htm

It is scanned so you will have to type it in yourself.
I actually used OCR against the images, but I think it would have been just as fast to type it myself, due to the huge number of corrections I had to make.

Thanks Dann
Although they have both been solved, the combined source code is still not available so I will endevor to recreate them myself.
