| BetterBasic And CrossRef | BetterBasic and CrossRef are two SuperBasic programming utilities written by Chas Dillon (of THE EDITOR fame). Chas has released these two programs into the Public Domain. He has released the source code but not any executables. I decided to take the two programs, see what changes they needed to be compiled with the new TURBO, | Sinclair QL |
| Disk Text Search Utility | Over the years, to keep various e-mails and newsgroup postings, I’ve printed them out and kept them at home. I’ve thought about storing them as files on disk, but finding the information I need would not be too easy. I was looking for a utility that would search the files on disk, find files with | Sinclair QL |
| Editor's Forum | For the second time in the life of the QHJ, I have allowed a whole year to go between issues. When I started the QHJ 10 years ago, I knew something like this might happen, therefore I made the QHJ a free publication. This has kept any off any outside pressure to get the next | Sinclair QL |
| Task Commander | Task Commander is a utility that will convert a TURBO compiled program into a resident extension or Toolkit, that can be RESPRed and seen as a new keyword in SuperBasic. Task Commander will produce a keyword that will produce the same effect as EXEC or EX. Task Commander is not designed for creating library extension | Sinclair QL |
| Turbo Compiler | TURBO, the SuperBasic compiler, has been updated and released for almost a year. Simon Goodwin is the original author with a few others contributing to the final released product, by Digital Precision. George Gwilt has taken the source code and updated the program to work on the newer QDOS and SMSQ/E systems. TURBO comes in | Sinclair QL |
| Turbo Config | TURBO does not support standard Qjump Config Blocks. George Gwilt has created TURBO Config, a tool that allows Config blocks to be added to TURBO compiled programs. After creating some data statements that get merged with the source code, another tool takes the Config block information and adds it to the compiled program. T_CONFIG_DATA is | Sinclair QL |
| Turbo Support Page | To assist in the support of TURBO, I’ve created a TURBO Support Page on my web page. The page will list the various reported bugs to both TURBO and TURBO Toolkit. Each bug will list what it is, what platform the bug has been seen on (QDOS, SMSQ/E, etc), and the status of work on | Sinclair QL |
| Turbo Utilities | Another zip file contains a number of other TURBO utilites: LIBRARY MANAGER, DATASPACE and Utility_Task. The zip file does not come with documentation, and briefly explains the programs: LIBRARY MANAGER – pulls out procedures from large SuperBasic programs. DATASPACE – used to ajust the data space requirements in programs already compiled. Utility_task – Neat little | Sinclair QL |
| TurboPTR | TURBO is not compatible with all SuperBasic extensions, esp. those with array paramaters or return values through parameters. QPTR is one such set of extensions. So, to create Pointer Environment programs using TURBO, George Gwilt has written TurboPTR, which is a freeware replacement to QPTR. TurboPTR is comprised of the following elements: TPTR – a | Sinclair QL |
