Hello together,
Today is a very special day, because a long, long search and work around the world with many users is now over with a final good end after decades.
The community now has the lost to be believe, final OSS supercart of the highest developed BASIC for the Atari, the OSS BASIC XE in version 4.2 (compare with yours) and this time with the source code together!
We are very happy about that, because now, just the source code of TurboBasic XL is missing (we are working on that, too), so we can make a final BASIC for the Atari, let's call it: Ultimate BASIC, else Final BASIC?
Further, we can interbreed with other source codes, for example ACTION! for an enhanced editor (scrolling) or the EXTEND command from the source code of BASIC XE to get used of the additional RAM with now up to 4 MB! All this is now possible and to your feet.
Further, please take into account the source code for the Atari Calculator, wich is now in PD, too for the floating point routines plus the ones from Altirra BASIC and BASIC++.
All links to the software can be found here:

Enjoy and have fun. :-)))
This service was brought to you by Kevin, a good soul (who would like to stay anonymously), JAC!, Tomasz 'KrOtki' Krasuski, a still unknown donator of the hex codes, which enabled us to restore the code, the files and later from that, finally, the cart itself.
For those of you, who may ask about the unknown donator: in the very last picture of the microfilm there was a slide with the following sentence:
After digitizing, destroy everything send to you and there will be more!
I did exactly as ordered, and guess what, we can continue in part 2! Not kidding. Check back in here again. :-)
The BIN-file just run in Altirra with OSS '043M' ; who can create a '034M'-version? :-)
