Any BASIC Gurus around?

[Chris Maness]

Thanks a ton Greg.  It is crashing here too.  I am not sure as to the
cause.  I made a small patch to place on top of yours.  There is a typo
that outputs the sun position as DOG instead of DEG.  Here it is:

--- sun.bas.orig 2013-06-17 11:51:00.000000000 -0700
+++ sun.bas 2013-06-17 11:44:06.000000000 -0700
