Turbo Basic 3.2q¢ (C) 1992 CTH Enterprises¢ by Tom Hunt¢ All rights reserved¢¢ This text be freely¢ distributed as long as it remains¢ intact, and as long as no moneys are¢ exchanged, except for the nominal¢ cost of media. ¢¢ "TB32Q.COM" is on S-2 of this disk!¢¢ This program 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. **¢ -------------------------------------¢ Send ShareWare donations to:¢¢ Tom Hunt¢ 1704 Twp.
