I have a few questions about ST Basic:
1) How do you get more than 16 colors in Basic?
2) Are there plans for a compiled basic in
the forseeable future?
3) I can only get sound channel #1 to work. How do I get
the other channels to work?
I suppose all these questions should be prefaced with the more
general question: when is a newer release of the basic expected?
Aloha,

You don't! You must go to the BIOS to get to the interrupt that lets you change the color palette on the fly. > 2) Are there plans for a compiled basic in > the forseeable future? Philon is planning to market one under the name "Fast BASIC". > 3) I can only get sound channel #1 to work. How do I get > the other channels to work? Use the WAVE command to turn on the additional channels before using the SOUND command. WAVE 7,0,0,0,0 will do the trick. > I suppose all these questions should be prefaced with the more > general question: when is a newer release of the basic expected? We are working on one. Perhaps within the next 2 months we will see one. --->Neil @ Atari Usenet: ...lll-crg!vecpyr!atari!neil CIS: 70007,1135 BIX: neilharris Atari BBS: 408-745-5308 or 745-2642
