(Editor: This program› NOT  on this  DISK, but  TURBOBA1.BAS› for the 400/800 is on S-2  of  disk.)››      This program TB32q is based upon› Turbo Basic for the old  ATARI  400's› and 800's, by Frank  Ostrowski.  That› particular version had it's own mini-› dos   embedded   in   it,  which  was› compatible   only   with   Atari  DOS› 2.0/2.5 .››       This   version,    3.2q,    was› specifically  made  to run only under› Sparta Dos 3.2. It works  fine  under› both  a  floppy  based  system, and a› hard drive based  system.  It  is  an› interpreter,  not  a  compiler  or  a› runtime  for compiled programs. It is› by     far    the    fastest    Basic› interpreter.››      You load  it  by  simply  typing› "TB32Q"  at Sparta's D1: prompt. Once› loaded, you may  return  to  dos  and› back  without  destroying  your Basic› program, as long as you  do  not  use› any  destructive  commands  while  in› dos.  A  destructive command would be› the COPY command,  for  instance.  To› return  to  Turbo  Basic  3.2q  after› going  to DOS, you simply type RUN at› Sparta's D1: prompt. As long  as  you› haven't  loaded or executed any other› machine language  program,  you  will› return to Turbo Basic 3.2q, with your› Basic program intact.›› TECHNICAL STUFF FOR PROGRAMMERS››       This  version  of  Turbo  Basic› occupies from $1C20  to  $63E5.  Once› loaded,  Turbo Basic 3.2q should give› you 22313  bytes  of  FRE(0)  memory.› There  are two functions that are not› supported in this  version  of  Turbo› Basic,  which  are   in   the   other› versions.    The   BLOAD   and   BRUN› functions will return an ERROR 255 if› executed.  These functions are easily› implemented through  XIO  statements,› so it's no big loss.››     Also  included  in  this ARC is a› special P:R: Connection  R:  handler,› and  a  Basic  loader  to load it in.› They   are   named    PRTB.COM    and› LOAD_PR.BAS, respectivly.› (Editors note: These programs may not› be on this disk)› Change line  280 in the basic program› so that the loader can find PRTB.COM.› This should  allow  some enterprising› Turbo  Basic  programmer,  who   owns› a  P:R:Connection, to  create a modem› program  using Turbo Basic 3.2q.› -------------------------------------› Send Shareware donations to:›› TOM HUNT› 1704 TWP.
