BASin code format

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: October 2, 2026

The BASin code format is intended for source code used with the ZX-Editor and ZX-Paintbrush software. A BSC file preserves code in the form used by the software.

The format is associated with the Microsoft Windows versions of these programs and is mainly relevant when working with code in that software.

How to open bsc file?

Open a BSC file in ZX-Editor or ZX-Paintbrush on Microsoft Windows. Use the program's Open command and select the file if BSC files are not already associated with it.

If neither program is available, a general text editor may display readable content, but it may not preserve or interpret the BASin code correctly.

How to convert bsc file?

Open the file in ZX-Editor or ZX-Paintbrush and use the program's own Save or Export commands if a different output format is supported.

BINSCII Apple II file archive

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: December 12, 2017

The bsc file extension is associated with BINSCII.

The term "binscii" comes from combining "binary" with "ASCII". A file in binscii form has been changed so that it can be transmitted as text to/from net servers and services which do not handle pure binary transfers.

Today, practically all servers can handle pure binary transfers; so, binscii is no longer in popular use. However, quite a few old A2 files are still in binscii form and binscii is used for files uploaded to comp.binaries.apple2.

Fortran Pwbrmake file

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: October 2, 2026

The Fortran Pwbrmake file is a data file used with Pwbrmake, a utility associated with Fortran. Its contents support the operation of that utility rather than representing a general-purpose document.

Fortran, or Formula Translation System, is a programming language developed by IBM in the 1950s and available on multiple platforms. The BSC file belongs to the supporting data used by Fortran software.

This is a specialised format, so its contents and structure depend on the Fortran environment that created it.

How to open bsc file?

Open the file with the Fortran environment or Pwbrmake utility that created it. It is not intended to be opened as a standalone document.

If the original Fortran software is unavailable, a general-purpose application may not be able to interpret the file correctly.

How to convert bsc file?

Use the original Pwbrmake or Fortran environment to export or regenerate the data if that software provides such an option.
