Squanchy BASIC
==============
This is a version of Color BASIC for the Radio Shack Color Computer. It has been reassembled to be at the top of RAM on a 64K machine.
This will let BASIC programs be much larger than the stock ROMs allow.
The goal is to remain 100% compatible with Color BASIC programs. Except those programs that rely on any aspect of the internals of Color BASIC's implementation.
Build:
======
Use Make to build. Requires LWTools and Toolshed.
http://www.lwtools.ca
https://sourceforge.net/projects/toolshed/
Usage:
======
On a Color Computer (with 64K of RAM) or CoCo 3 type:
```RUN "SB"``` The computer will reboot to Squanchy BASIC.
```RUN "ESB"``` The computer will reboot to Extended Squanchy BASIC.
```RUN "DESB"``` The computer will reboot to Disk Extended Squanchy BASIC.
Current progress:
=================
Searching for opprotunities to reduce code size.
To Do List:
===========
1. ~~Test Color BASIC fully.~~
2. ~~Add Extended Color BASIC~~
3. ~~Add Disk BASIC~~
4. Modify ROM to be even more compact.
5. Fix Color BASIC bugs.
6. Move documented subroutines to the end of the ROM.
