[comp.sys.atari.8bit] pd turbo basic interpreter for atari 800

jhs@MITRE-BEDFORD.ARPA (04/25/87)

I don't have a copy of the compiler for the 800 but only for the XL/XE.
Does anyone else on the net have any info on an 800 version?

I don't know anything about the copyright on any of this software.  It was
claimed to be Public Domain, but there is a copyright notice saying the
program belongs to "Happy Computers".  I have heard nothing about this from
anywhere but the title screen.  Has anyone heard anything to conflict with the
Public Domain status of Turbo BASIC?

In a recent message, jhs asked about urbo Basic-800. This is what I know:
Turbo Basic-800 -does- exist. Unfortunately, it is not very widely
distributed, as opposed to Turbo Basic XL. The Happy Computer message
refers to the developers of the program --- all Turbo modules are totally P/D.
[By the way, I know a local Bulletin Board that has Turbo Basic 800, but
the SysOp -doesn't want- to put it up!! :-( ]
As for ARC and ARCX, all I can say is to try the Translator.
