This is the source code for a utility made in LB, that makes it easy to associate .BAS files to Liberty BASIC, no matter the version.

It automatically find LB installs, assuming they're in default locations, and gives the option to associate any of them to the .BAS file extension.

It also has a manual selection option, to allow it to associate any EXE(or any copy of LB in a non-standard location) to the BAS file extension.
