.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
-\fBbas2aplus\fP reads an Atari BASIC or BASIC XL/XE tokenized (SAVEd) program
-and converts it to BASIC/A+.
+\fBbas2aplus\fP reads an Atari BASIC or BASIC XL/XE tokenized (SAVEd)
+program and converts it to BASIC/A+. The conversion is a simple token
+replacement; no syntax or semantic analysis is done.
+.sp
+\fIinput\-file\fP must be an Atari BASIC, BASIC XL, or BASIC XE program.
+Turbo BASIC is not supported. Trying to convert a program that is
+already BASIC/A+ will appear to succeed, but the resulting program
+will be gibberish and will likely crash BASIC/A+ when \fBRUN\fP\&.
.sp
All Atari BASIC programs can be successfully converted. Some BASIC
XL/XE tokens have no equivalent in BASIC/A+, so programs using these
can\(aqt be converted (you will see messages on standard error, in that
case).
