In looking at the functions I was not able to figure out what (if any) significant differences there are between using the ibrd() functions vs the ilrd() functions (especially for the two that have the same parameter list.)
The commands are the same except that the IL- commands are exclusive to the BASIC languages. The modern commands are all IB- based and are the preferred programing practice for all modern programs. The only reason to use the IL- commands is if you were programming in an old BASIC environment that did not recognize the IB- commands.
