    This is amazing!! I remember playing around with S.A.M. so much back in the 80's on my C64. So much fun trying to get it to say things!

     

    I think this will be very useful, especially if you're able to package it so people can incorporate it into their own games. Or if you can implement it as an add in module for batari Basic somehow.

     

    I'll be showing this off on the next ZeroPage Homebrew Twitch stream on Tuesday!

    Just playing around with this. Love this new feature of Disassembling Machine Language code in a Basic String.

    What a neat tool!!

     

    One thing though is if the string selected is at the bottom of the page, the dialogue box isn't fully viewable.

    Is there a way to move the box?

     

    Thank You,

    Highlighted in yellow are the ATR's file sizes. Only "test.atr" has the 16 bytes header, and that should be the reason for the behavior. I don't know if the tool also tested for other disk containers in this case. Those "bad" ATRs were recently downloaded from AtariMania as it was mentioned somewhere. The SP.bas BASIC program that I used to show the word wrapping problem was the one published in the thread where you introduced this tool for the first time ;-) 

     

    image.png.6fdec985d1229f2e985cfd0325a8b88d.png

     

    The HEX view is not completely readable because of the <strong> tag. Changing the "font-weight" atribute of the strong style inside <pre> tag to "normal" solved that issue. But both the extra background pixels in the font and the white lines between rows are still present.

     

    The "Raw Sectors" view I mentioned in my last post was this mode when you click over the sector count in valid ATRs. I think that it should be selectable from the combo (without disassembling).

     

    Added:

    SpartaDOS support including directories
    Disassembly of code embedded in Basic Programs

    Raw Sectors View
    ARC Files and extraction
    XFD Images

    I liked this very much because it was a feature I wanted, but it has some problems:

     

    - It seems that instead of using your great ATASCII canvas algorithm, you used an embedded Atari font, which it seem not to be 8x8 in size. There is border on top of it (unless it is something related to padding in CSS).

    - I didn't get a clear ATASCII view of the file. It turned to be that the <strong> tag used in that column is bluring the fonts. When I added the "font-weight:normal" into the "pre strong" definition, I could get clear text.

     

    BASIC listings were also changed to use this font instead of the canvas, with the same extra pixels on top of each line, but also with word wrap!!! 

     

    About images, I dropped a random JPG file to test if the previous lock and memory dry was still present, but I got  surprise! Now, it understood that it actually was a JPG image and somehow converted it to GR.8 (dithered in black&white), scaling it to fit the 320x192 canvas, even when my JPG was a portrait document, filling with black zones at both sides of the image. The same happened when I dropped a PNG screenshot from my phone. Was that on purpose or by an "accident" because of the way that the drop zone works?

     

    There is also a problem with "bad" ATRs. I dropped a corrupt/protected DOS disk and the tool refused to display its directory, which it is at sector 361 and it only has 4 entries (VTOC is at 360). I went directly to the HEX view, and I had to compute 360*128 to find that the start of the directory was at $B400. I don't know if there is an invalidating bit on each directory entry, the VTOC, or what that makes the tool to reject the ATR.

     

    I think that, in case of non-DOS 2.0 compatible ATRs, it should use the sector view I got in some previous version of the tool. Probably a "Raw Sectors" mode should be great.

     

    If I press the "Alt" key (option?), I get the ATASCII table, but it moves along with the pointer, not allowing me to select any character other than "inverse video control-G" char.

     

    BTW, I'm using Chrome in a Win10 box. Let me know if you need screenshots or the files I used in my tests.

     

    ++Vitoco

     

    would love the bad atr to debug, also any screenshot of bad behavior would be welcome.

    Image stuff is no accident; try gr7,gr8,gr9,g10 etc. Goal is to support HIP,TIP etc with drag and drop of any image. wip.

    Hi Rossum,

    I think you and phaeron might be brothers.

    How do you code so fast?

    Thank you. I wish you would have had time in the past to code this. This is so useful.

    How do you activate your popup keyboard? I couldn't get it to pop-out.

    Also if/when you have time, could you add a Line Renumber option and a way to change the names of basic variables.

    Just ignore me if I'm annoying you with all these requests, I'm just exited about your program.

     

    Thanks,

    Doug

     

    If you are in the text editor holding down the Option key will popup the keyboard under the mouse. Clicking on a character will insert it at the current insertion point.

    Really impressive!

    But please, give him a break. I am programmer too and i know what it is to be filled with other things in life and special requests for particular project.

    Things could seem simple to talk about and draw on paper, but to do something is completely different matter.

    I guess he will update his tool regularly, applying requests of his choice. The code is open sourced, so you can adapt it as you wish.

     

    Thx but am enjoying it so far. Been meaning to write something like this for 40 years; took a pandemic to find the time.

    Thanks, but out of the images I tested it against, it only works for Cribbage.

     

    Perhaps it is easier to just let the user enter the starting sector of the directory. The VTOC has for read-only access no relevance.

     

    Find attached some images with varying starts of the directory (VTOC is mostly the sector before the directory).

    It also does not work for DOS 2.0 DD disks. It seems that DOS 2.0D only uses the first 128 bytes of each directory sector.

    This version does a full scan of the disk looking for directories and works for the above.

    It also scans for files with no legitimate directory entries: kind of a poor man's unerase.

    The Atari Accountant disk had garbage in the directory: sector start position and sized were mangled. an attempt at copy protection perhaps?

    This new version recovers these files despite the broken directories.

     

    many thanks for the help.

    ah. Well all this protection by moving the directory, blocking the LIST command, blocking the BREAK Key, causing cold boot upon pressing RESET, all makes sense for back then. But now, when the software is as old as me and no longer being sold, it would be nice to have all that removed, for the sake of preservation.

    The directory of this disk is not in the usual place. 

    That's the reason why I requested @rossum to make this configurable. There are lots of (mainly educational) BASIC programs out there with this type of protection. 

    Added a search for hidden directories, now happily finds Cribbage code

    Thanks for the update. Looks nice.

     

    Couldn't an "Open" button be added somewhere on top or bottom of the left panel?

     

    I dropped some random files to do some tests, and when I change the type for any of those files to "Hard Interlace Picture" (not being a file of that format), the header for the right pannel dissappears. Then, it is not possible to select other type for the file. Again, it could be a way to return to the default file format.

     

    It is still missing an alternative way to display Font files, in order to use ANTIC 4 four color characters (2 bits per pixel similar to Graphics 7 Image, but on single scan lines).

     

    For images without a defined palette, it could be great to use default color palette in addition to the grey scale (selectable?).

     

    On ATASCII text modes, the extra top and bottom empty lines sometimes disturbs me...

     

    These are the tokens and operands lists I extracted from my ATASCII printer: 

    tokens =
 ["REM ","DATA ","INPUT ","COLOR ","LIST ","ENTER ","LET ",

    They are the same than Atari BASIC lists, but with extensions. You must also add 0x0D type when checking a[j] to extract an hex constant from 6 byte data stored as a BCD number. For string constants, you must duplicate the contained double quotes. I think there was also a check for variable numbers for more than 128 of them (probably token 0x54 is related).

     

    I hope this helps...

    Again... WOW!

     

    I found that many of my comments were considered. 🙂

     

    New comments for the latest release:

     

    - When a file is an ATR (in DOS 2.0 compatible format), the directory contents is displayed like in the DOS style, but if a single file is dropped, its name is truncated into the same 8.3 filename format, but the extension is appended to the name even when the name is shorter than 8 chars.

     

    - If the file size is larger than 999 sectors, the ATASCII register in the left panel stills overlaps the right panel. I think you should format it as DOS 2.5 does in that line to avoid overlaps.

     

    - The extension of the original name is removed in the item title of the left panel, except when the file is an ATR. I think that you should preserve it.

     

    - It is nice that you can now change the display method through the combo. Two things: The combo list should be alphabetically sorted by some criteria (unless it is sorted and I didn't catch it), and there should be a simple way to return to the default one (this might be by clicking again over the item type in the left panel).

     

    As many here, I'd like to see TurboBasic XL detokenized listing.

     

    That's all for now.

     

    Thanks!

    Awesome! If I may suggest, if there isn't anything resembling a VTOC/directory, read and disassemble the boot sectors. e.g. my CONFIG program for #FujiNet is a single shot boot program that loads using the OS DSKINV loader. :)

    Added lots of mostly image files + raw atr/boot disassembler + dynamic selection of file type.
