Irgendwer #1 Posted October 17, 2015 Hi, like promised, here the first public release of "Turban". A big THANK YOU goes to "dmsc" - without his work I couldn't produce this small comfort layer. Everything you have to know is in the manual. Happy programming! Turban.zip 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Philsan #3 Posted October 17, 2015 Irgendwer and dmsc work is a milenstone for Turbo-Basic XL developers. You easily write and edit your program on the PC, you press Control+B, Turban makes an ATR image with all needed files and runs the program with your preferred emulator.

fujidude #6 Posted October 18, 2015 That's a nice bit of software you made there. Good job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irgendwer #7 Posted October 18, 2015 Impressive tool, but I don't like the name 'Turban'. Why not call it TurboTool? Because it sounds like pet cleaning ( ) ? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irgendwer #9 Posted October 20, 2015 Could you please rephrase your question? I don't get it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckybuck #10 Posted October 25, 2015 Great! A few weeks ago, we found Frank Ostrowski, the author of Turbo-Basic-XL. Will keep you all up to date... 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savetz #11 Posted January 25, 2016 Does this work on MacOS (with Atari800MacX). I read the manual nut am unclear. Do you consider it unixoid? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irgendwer #12 Posted January 25, 2016 Does this work on MacOS (with Atari800MacX). I read the manual nut am unclear. Do you consider it unixoid? As far as my limited understanding of MacOS goes it should work. Try it out (there is also a Sublime Text version for MacOS if you consider this). You only have to build/make the "ATR-Tools" from "HiassofT". If you encounter problems, I'm sure a MacOS native will chime in... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savetz #13 Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks, Irgendwer. Though I don't think I have the time or energy to blaze this trail. I'll use it after someone else has gotten it working on the Mac. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heaven/TQA #14 Posted January 27, 2016 uj... so finally I can pretty fast prototype on PC without adding manually in Emulator! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skr #15 Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Thanks, Irgendwer. Though I don't think I have the time or energy to blaze this trail. I'll use it after someone else has gotten it working on the Mac. Thanks to Irgendwer´s support, it now works fine here on Sierra. If you like, I´ll send you the folders with all needed files, only Sublime you have to install on your own (quite simple to do).

Irgendwer #17 Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Just in time for the current "10-liners contest" here an updated version. Changes: V1.2 - Syntax highlighting updated for directive "$define" in "Sublime Text"- Improved escaping for the bash script: Paths with spaces are now supported.- Plain Basic support as the template launches now the emulator(s) with Basic on. (TurboBasic switches Basic off anyway.) For convenience I add here also an "AUTORUN.SYS" which starts an "AUTORUN.BAS". Add this to your "DOS.SYS" in your disk's template folder for easy Atari Basic development. Have fun!

Irgendwer #18 Posted May 13, 2018 Tiny fix for the bash-script in conjunction with quoting. Turban 1.21.zip 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckybuck #19 Posted May 14, 2018 Thanks again Irgendwer, we really appreciate your support in this. Btw: many users asked, how to insert the Atari special characters in an editor? Cool would be a pop-up window with the Atari keyboard for Sublime Text... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irgendwer #20 Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Btw: many users asked, how to insert the Atari special characters in an editor? From the documentation of the "TurboBasic XL Parser Tool": Inside strings, special characters can be specified by using a backslash followed by an hexadecimal number in upper-case, (i.e., "\00\A0" produces a string with a "hearth" and an inverse space), this allows editing special characters on any ASCII editor. Note that to force a backslash before a valid hex number, you can use two backslashes (i.e., "123\\456" produces 123\456). There is support for extended strings, with embedded character names. Start the string with [" and end the string with "], and include special characters with {name} or {count*name}, with count a decimal number and name from the list: heart, rbranch, rline, tlcorner, lbranch, blcorner, udiag, ddiag, rtriangle, brblock, ltriangle, trblock, tlblock, tline, bline, blblock, clubs, brcorner, hline, cross, ball, bbar, lline, bbranch, tbranch, lbar, trcorner, esc, up, down, left, right, diamond, spade, vline, clr, del, ins, tbar, rbar, eol, bell. Edit: See also my post with the picture here (dmsc has modified the names a bit, you may like to update the image and re-post it here for others ): http://atariage.com/forums/topic/238422-my-basic-parsing-and-transformation-tool/?do=findComment&comment=3315432 Edited May 14, 2018 by Irgendwer 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckybuck #21 Posted July 31, 2018 Thank you all so much. Please find attached a template for all special characters of Atari in TURBAN. Have fun and enjoy. Characte.tur.zip 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skr #22 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Just installed TURBAN for a friend at our monthly meeting. Very cool, still. Edit: And updated it to work with Atari800MacX under OS X.14.13 Edited March 9, 2019 by skr 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Preppie #23 Posted May 22, 2019 I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to install this on windows 10 and I'm no further forward. Anyone got a step by step guide for a moron? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckybuck #24 Posted May 22, 2019 So sorry Preppie, I am just on Mac. Have just finished this here: https://atariwiki.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=TURBAN please click on deutsch and try to do a cross over for Win 10. Would like to help more, but time is always the problem...

Preppie #25 Posted May 22, 2019 Thanks Luckybuck, not sure if a google translated guide for the Mac will get through my brain but every little helps I'll give it another shot tomorrow when I have some more time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
