About: BASIC A+

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

BASIC A+ was developed by Optimized Systems Software of Cupertino, California, United States, to provide the Atari 8-bit family with an extended BASIC compatible with the simpler ROM-based Atari BASIC. This interpreter was developed by the same team that developed Atari BASIC. While Atari BASIC came on an 8 KB ROM cartridge, BASIC A+ was delivered on floppy disk and uses 15 KB of the computer's RAM, leaving 23 KB available for user programs in a 48 KB Atari 800. Being an extension of Atari BASIC, BASIC A+ came with a supplement to the former's reference manual as its documentation. In addition to being faster than its ROM-bound counterpart, BASIC A+ provides extra commands for DOS operations, player/missile graphics, and debugging.

dbo:abstract
  • BASIC A+ ist ein von der Firma Optimized Software Systems (OSS) entwickelter BASIC-Interpreter für Atari-8-Bit-Heimcomputer. OSS hatte von Shepardson Microsystems, Inc., den Entwicklern des Atari-BASIC, die Rechte des BASIC-Interpreters erworben und diesen weiterentwickelt. BASIC A+ ist abwärtskompatibel zu Atari-BASIC, aber schneller und verfügt über zahlreiche zusätzliche Funktionen zur String-Behandlung (MID$, LEFT$, RIGHT$) und zur Ausnutzung der Hardware der Atari-Heimcomputer, wie zum Beispiel einfache Programmierung von Player-Missile-Grafik. Während Atari-BASIC auf einer 8 KB-ROM-Cartridge untergebracht, beziehungsweise bei den Atari XL/XE-Modellen fest eingebaut war, wurde BASIC A+ auf Diskette ausgeliefert. Es belegte 16 kB Speicher, so dass dem Programmierer nur etwa 23 kB für seine BASIC-Programme zur Verfügung standen. Verkauft wurde BASIC A+ 1983 für etwa 80 US-Dollar, mitgeliefert wurden zudem die OSS-Programme OS/A+ und EASMD (Editor/Assembler/Debugger). Da man zur Ausführung von in BASIC A+ geschriebenen Programmen den Interpreter benötigte, konnten Programme, die die erweiterten Fähigkeiten von BASIC A+ nutzen, nicht mit Anwendern ausgetauscht werden, die diesen nicht besaßen. Einen Compiler gab es für BASIC A+ nicht. 1984 erschien der Nachfolger . (de)

  • El BASIC A+ fue desarrollado por {en inglés: Optimized Systems Software= Sistemas de Software Optimizado} de Cupertino, California, EE. UU., para proporcionar a la familia Atari de 8 bits (400/800/XL/XE) con un lenguaje BASIC extendido, que era compatible, pero más rápido que el Atari BASIC original que venía en ROM. El Atari BASIC ocupaba solo 8 KB de ROM, en cambio el BASIC A+ era distribuido en un disquete, y ocupaba 15 KB de memoria RAM del ordenador, dejando 23 KB disponibles para los programas del usuario en un Atari 800 con 48 KB de RAM. En 1983, el BASIC A+ se ofrecía a $80 (dólares norteamericanos), en conjunto con un DOS mejorado, y (editor/ensamblador). Por tratarse de una extensión del Atari BASIC, la documentación era solo un suplemento del manual de referencia de este último. Además de ser más rápido que su contraparte en ROM, el BASIC A+ proporcionaba una serie de comandos adicionales para las operaciones de DOS, gráficos de jugador/proyectil {ingles: player/missile}, y para la depuración de programas.
