TURBO-BASIC XL#
TURBO-BASIC XL is a fast Basic Interpreter for the Atari 8bit XL/XE. Written by Frank Ostrowski and first published by German Happy Computer magazine. TURBO-BASIC XL is fully compatible to Atari Basic with an extended set of commands. There is also a TURBO-BASIC XL Compiler. A handbook (in German) can be found at http://www.strotmann.de/~highland/bib/bibindex.html
TURBO-BASIC 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 TURBO-BASIC XL compiler makes programs run 15-20 times faster than Atari BASIC and it will compile Atari BASIC programs too!
TURBO-BASIC 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.
