Program/utility that would list an AppleSoft program out to the printer in neat form. In the old days, Beagle Bros had a thing that would list BASIC programs on the screen breaking multi-statments-per-line lines up and putting them on individual lines and indent them to show it off. I could use one now that would do that to the printer under ProDOS. The Beagle thing was for DOS 3.3 so that don't do me no good right now.
Ok, folks, anything like that out there in the collective conscienceness?
Thanks in advance. If you have a good response to this, I would appreciate E-Mail to let me know. (I'm in a bit of a hurry about this one....)

.....Double Take by Beagle Bros, and I liked the program lister too. I believe they did do a ProDOS 8 version, and it might be available from their BBS, ProBeagle. However, I'm not too sure about it. I was never able to get on their BBS a while back when they started putting some of their old titles up for free downloading. You could check with them in their forum.
I also think there was a program lister published in Nibble magazine some while back. You can check there too.

Subj: MD-BASIC 90-10-15 14:23:00 EST

MD-BASIC, by Morgan Davis Group, is a two part system: a compiler and a decompiler. The compiler allows you to write code in a symbolic manner and translates the code to Applesoft BASIC; the decompiler does the opposite, taking existing Applesoft code and making it prettier. It's really a nice package for writing and understanding complex Applesoft programs. (It does, however, require GS/OS -- it seemed a little silly to me to use a GS-specific program to create code which you then have to run under P8, but nevertheless, I recommend it.)
The other utility I use for my BASIC programming is Program Writer, by Beagle Bros. This thing is to Applesoft what a word processor is to words; a full screen editor with a ton of nice features. I wouldn't program without it. :-)
Have fun...

Although we don't use AppleSoft as much as we used to, we've started using it a lot more in the past year once we got Program Writer. It's a really nice AppleSoft editor that greatly improves the maitainability of AppleSoft code.
Once thing about returning to AppleSoft once you've been away using compiled languages for a while; it's sure nice to type "RUN" and it does! I got so used to "Please wait....".
Have fun!

Subj: ProCMD and LYST command 90-10-15 19:27:40 EST

John, welcome back to Applesoft! I think it's much more fun than the newer P8 languages, and more flexible too.
Third the motion on Program Writer - it's a great editor. Best of all, it's perfectly compatible with my =other= favorite Applesoft utility, Glen Bredon's ProCMD. This is a collection of external Basic commands, one of which is LYST, which is a pretty-print lister that does just what was asked about in the first message here. Other ProCMD goodies include DHR graphics, fast SORTs, TYPE, COPY, and DUMP commands, HEX/DEC conversion, variable cross-reference, keyboard macros, etc, etc. ProCMD has a nice line editor too, but it doesn't compare to Program Writer. Again, you can install both packages together. ProCMD is $25 direct from Glen Bredon.

Subj: Translator, Applesoft->TML 91-01-01 11:09:11 EST

I just uploaded a utility program to the Utilities forum (12/31/90) that helps convert Applesoft Programs into Source code for TML Basic.
I haven't seen if this works with any other GS Basics, so if someone wants to give it a try...
This should help those persons who have been requesting demo files for TML. (Lemonade stand GS????)

The AppleSoft to TML BASIC translator has been moved to the Apple II Development Forum software library, in the Utilities and Accessories section. It is now available for download.
