AtariBas

Atari BASIC and Turbo-BASIC XL programs as a readable listing

AtariBas is a Lister plugin for Total Commander that displays a tokenized Atari BASIC program (files saved with SAVE or CSAVE on the Atari 400/800/XL/XE) as a readable listing, just as the LIST command would print it. Press F3 or Ctrl+Q on the file.

Features

• Detokenization of Atari BASIC: statements, operators, functions, variables, numbers in 6-byte BCD and strings.
• Extended Turbo-BASIC XL tokens (DPOKE, REPEAT/UNTIL, WHILE/WEND, PROC/EXEC, DIV, MOD, hexadecimal constants $xx …).
• ATASCII characters (graphic symbols, arrows, ♥ ♣ ♠ ♦) are converted to Unicode, inverse characters are shown inverted.
• Syntax highlighting: keywords, numbers, strings, REM and errors.
• Light and dark theme (following the TC 11 dark mode) and an optional Atari theme with a blue background like the GR.0 screen.
• Protected programs without variable names are shown with substitute names V0, V1 …
• Plain text .BAS files (saved with LIST "D:...") are left to the regular Lister.
• Font, size and colors are set in the context menu directly in Lister.
