+Original source downloaded from [Vintage Basic](http://www.vintage-basic.net/games.html).
+
+Conversion to [MiniScript](https://miniscript.org).
+
+Ways to play:
+
+1. Command-Line MiniScript:
+Download for your system from https://miniscript.org/cmdline/, install, and then run the program with a command such as:
+
+	miniscript digits.ms
+
+2. Mini Micro:
+Download Mini Micro from https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro/, launch, and then click the top disk slot and chose "Mount Folder..."  Select the folder containing the BASIC program.  Then, at the Mini Micro command prompt, enter:
+
+	load "digits"
+	run

 #### Porting Notes
 
-(please note any difficulties or challenges in porting here)
+- The program contains a lot of mysterious and seemingly arbitrary constants.  It's not clear there is any logic or rationality behind it.
+- The key equation involved in the guess (line 700) involves a factor of `A`, but `A` is always 0, making that term meaningless.  As a result, all the work to build and update array K and value Z2 appear to be meaningless, too.
