TurboBasic XL#

TurboBasic XL is a fast Basic Interpreter for the Atari 8bit XL/XE. Written by Frank Ostrowski and first published by German Happy Computer magazine. TurboBasic XL is fully compatible to Atari Basic with an extended set of commands. There is also a TurboBasic XL Compiler. A handbook (in German) can be found at http://www.strotmann.de/~highland/bib/bibindex.html

TurboBasic XL is compatible with Atari BASIC, but it runs three to four times faster when interpreted and has advanced program control and I/O commands. Using the TurboBasic XL compiler makes programs run 15-20 times faster than Atari BASIC and it will compile Atari BASIC programs too!

TurboBasic XL will only work on XL and XE computers with at least 64K. Ostrowski is also the author of GFA BASIC for the Atari ST, which is being distributed in the U.S. by MichTron.
