B A C U S.. REVIEWED BY JEFFREY L. J
ONES.. ABACUS' BASIC 64 PACKAGE IS NO
T.PRETTY. THERE ARE MISSPELLINGS IN.THE
PROGRAM AND MANUAL. THE MENU IS.DULL.
THE SECOND MENU IS CUMBERSOME..BUT THE
HACKERISH USER INTERFACE.DOESN'T MASK AT
ALL THE FACT THAT.BASIC 64 IS THE PREMI
UM COMPILER FOR.THE COMMODORE 64, THE ON
LY ONE THAT'S.100% COMPATIBLE WITH BASIC
.. LIKE ALL COMPILERS, BASIC 64 DOES.
THE JOB OF PRE-INTERPRETING PROGRAMS,.PR
ODUCING FAST PSEUDO-CODE. THIS CAN.MEAN
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SECONDS.AND HOUR
S IN PROCESSING TIME FOR SOME.PROGRAMS..
. BASIC 64 TRANSLATES YOUR BASIC.PROG
RAM INTO CODE THAT EXECUTES.THIRTY TO FI
FTY TIMES FASTER. IT IS.CLEARLY THE FAS
TEST COMPILER.AVAILABLE FOR BASIC V2. T
HE CODE IS.COMPACT, USUALLY NINETEEN BLO
CKS.LONGER THAN THE BASIC PROGRAM. THIS.
NINETEEN EXTRA BLOCKS IS BECAUSE OF.THE
"RUNTIME MODULE" WHICH IS.BASICALLY A MA
CHINE LANGUAGE PROGRAM.THAT EXECUTES YOU
R COMPILED PROGRAM... THERE ARE TWO A
MAZING ASPECTS TO.THIS COMPLIER. FIRST,
THE OBJECT.CODE (THE COMPILED PROGRAM)
CAN.ACTUALLY BE SHORTER THAN THE ORIGINA
L.BASIC, DEPENDING ON HOW EFFICIENT THE.
ORIGINAL CODE IS... FOR INSTANCE, MAI
L-MASTER,.LOADSTAR'S BONUS DISK FOR SIX-
MONTH.OR LONGER SUBSCRIPTIONS, IS A 90.B
LOCK BASIC PROGRAM. WITH THE 19.BLOCK R
UNTIME MODULE THE PROGRAM.SHOULD HAVE CO
MPILED TO 109 BLOCKS..INSTEAD IT COMPILE
D TO ONLY 91. THIS.MEANS THAT THE OBJEC
T CODE FOR.MAIL-MASTER IS 18 BLOCKS SHOR
TER THAN.THE BASIC CODE... THE OTHER
AMAZING ASPECT IS.MEMORY MANAGEMENT. MA
IL-MASTER HAS.ABOUT 600 BYTES FREE IN BA
SIC BUT IT.HAS MORE THAN 15000 FREE WHEN
.COMPILED.... THIS EXTRA MEMORY MEANS
NO GARBAGE.COLLECTION DELAYS... EVER.
AS FREE.MEMORY APPROACHES ZERO, YOUR PRO
GRAM.WILL ACTUALLY CRASH BEFORE YOU SEE
A.NOTICEABLE GARBAGE COLLECTION!.. IF
YOU'VE WRITTEN A PROGRAM THAT.HAS BECOM
E TOO BIG TO RUN, I SUGGEST.COMPILING IT
WITH THIS COMPILER..MAIL-MASTER WAS ONC
E SHELVED BECAUSE.IT WAS UNUSABLE IN ITS
BASIC FORM... THERE ARE TWO MODES TO
64.COMPILER, OPTIMIZER I AND OPTIMIZER.
II, AND EACH MODE CAN PRODUCE."P-CODE" O
R "MACHINE CODE"..... THE MAJOR DIFFE
RENCE BETWEEN.OPTIMIZER 1 AND OPTIMIZER
2 IS SIMPLY.THAT OPTIMIZER 2 DOESN'T DO
FLOATING.POINT MATH. BY ELIMINATING FLO
ATING.POINT VARIABLES AND REPLACING THEM
.WITH INTEGER VARIABLES, OPTIMIZER 2.MAN
AGES TO EXECUTE MUCH FASTER THAN.OPTIMIZ
ER 1. THIS IS BECAUSE INTEGER.VARIABLES
TAKE UP ONLY TWO BYTES OF.MEMORY WHILE
FLOATING POINT VARIABLES.TAKE UP A WHOPP
ING FIVE BYTES. THIS.MEANS THAT WHENEVE
R A FLOATING.VARIABLE IS CALLED, OR ESPE
CIALLY.WHEN REASSIGNED, THE COMPUTER SPE
NDS.TWICE AS MUCH TIME JUGGLING BYTES.AR
OUND.... SO WHO NEEDS FLOATING POINT?
.ANYONE WHO WRITES A SPREADSHEET SUCH.AS
POWER BUDGET (ON ISSUE #49) WHERE.DOLLA
RS AND CENTS ARE NEEDED..FLOATING POINT
IS ALSO NEEDED IN.SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMS WH
ERE ANY NUMBER.OF SIGNIFICANT DIGITS ARE
REQUIRED... YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN O
PTIMIZER 1.AND OPTIMIZER 2 IN THE MIDDLE
OF YOUR.PROGRAMS BY ADDING THESE DIRECT
IVES.IN YOUR PROGRAM:... R
EM@ 01. REM@ 02.. THESE
DIRECTIVES CAN BE INSERTED.ON ANY LINE
IN YOUR PROGRAM.. OPTIMIZER 1 IS 100%
COMPATIBLE.WITH BASIC. OPTIMIZER 2 WON
'T ACCEPT.A STEP VALUE WITHIN A FOR NEXT
LOOP..BUT IF YOUR PROGRAM MUST HAVE A S
TEP.LOOP IN IT AND USE OPTIMIZER 2 JUST.
INSERT THE COMPILER DIRECTIVES TO.SWITCH
BETWEEN THE OPTIMIZERS... OPTIMIZER
1 CAN EMULATE OPTIMIZER.2 IF YOU USE ALL
INTEGER VARIABLES.INSTEAD OF REAL VARIA
BLES. BUT.OPTIMIZER 2 WILL ALWAYS HAVE F
ASTER.FOR NEXT LOOPS THOUGH, BECAUSE IT.
ALLOWS AN INTEGER VARIABLE TO DEFINE.THE
LOOP. THIS ISN'T ALLOWED BY.BASIC OR B
Y OPTIMIZER ONE AND MAY BE.JUST THE THIN
G NEEDED TO SPEED UP.YOUR SPRITES. OF C
OURSE AN INTEGER.LOOP CAN'T COUNT PAST 3
2767 ($7FFF).. YOU MAY ALSO SWITCH BE
TWEEN.PSEUDO CODE (P-CODE) AND MACHINE C
ODE.OUTPUT, THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN.
THE TWO BEING THE AMOUNT OF SPACE THE.OB
JECT CODE TAKES UP. MACHINE CODE.IS MUC
H BULKIER BUT ALSO NOTICEABLY.FASTER THA
N P-CODE.. THE TRADE-OFF CAN BE MINIM
IZED BY.INSERTING THESE DIRECTIVES IN YO
UR.BASIC CODE:. REM@ M.
REM@ P. THE ONLY CATCH IS THAT
YOU CAN'T.HAVE ANY M-CODE SECTION THAT H
AS A.DIRECT GOTO TO ANY P-CODE SECTION O
R.VICE VERSA. THIS WILL CAUSE A.PROGRAM
CRASH. THE SECTIONS ARE.ALLOWED TO FLO
W INTO EACH OTHER BUT.NOT GOTO OR GOSUB
ONE ANOTHER... ROUTINES INVOLVING POK
ES WILL BE.EXECUTED MUCH FASTER, PROBABL
Y.BECAUSE IT ONLY INVOLVES A COUPLE OF.M
L COMANDS. BECAUSE POKES AND PEEKS.EXEC
UTE ESPECIALLY FAST WHEN.COMPILED, YOUR
JOYSTICK ROUTINES.MIGHT ACTUALLY EXECUTE
TOO FAST,.ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE INTEGER
.VARIABLES WHICH ARE STORED AND USED.FAS
TER. IF YOU PEEK THE KEYBOARD.INSTEAD OF
USING THE GET COMMAND, YOU.MIGHT HAVE A
MUCH FASTER INTERACTIVE.KEYBOARD GAME..
..... BASIC 64'S "ADVANCED DEVELOPMEN
T".MENU OFFERS TOO MANY OPTIONS TO GO.IN
TO THOROUGHLY. AMONG THE FEATURES.ARE O
PTIONS TO LOWER THE TOP OF.BASIC, ASSIGN
A LINE FOR ERROR.TRAPPING (THOUGH THIS
CAN ALSO BE.ASSIGNED WITH A DIRECTIVE),
SAVE.ADDRESS TABLES, ETC. THE AUTHOR.DI
DN'T SCRIMP WITH THE OPTIONS HERE..I'VE
GONE TO THIS MENU MANY TIMES AND.CHANGED
MANY A PARAMETER UNTIL A.PROGRAM FINALL
Y WORKED THE WAY I.WANTED IT TO........-

Y FIRST MAJOR GRIPE IS THAT BASIC.64 IS
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH FASTLOAD..I THINK TH
AT EVERY DEVELOPER SHOULD.ASSUME THAT EV
ERY USER OWNS EVERY.TYPE OF DISK SPEEDER
UPPER. BASIC 64.WILL LOCK UP ON LINE 4
400 WHEN THE.FASTLOAD CARTRIDGE IS ENABL
ED. EVEN.IF THE PROGRAM IS RENUMBERED S
O THAT.NO LINE NUMBER IS HIGHER THAN 440
0,.THE COMPILER WILL STILL LOCK UP AT.SO
ME ARBITRARY POINT ON LARGER.PROGRAMS.
YOU CAN COMPILE SHORT.PROGRAMS WITH FAST
LOAD ENABLED..PERHAPS 10 BLOCKS IS THE L
IMIT... MY SECOND MAJOR GRIPE IS THAT
THE.COMPILER DOESN'T MAKE SURE THAT THE
.PROGRAM YOU TELL IT TO COMPILE IS ON.TH
E DISK BEFORE IT BEGINS CREATING.ALL SOR
TS OF FILES. THIS TAKES A FEW.SECONDS.
ONCE IT REALIZES THAT YOUR.PROGRAM ISN'
T ON THE DISK, YOU HAVE.TO WAIT WHILE IT
SCRATCHES THE.UNNECESSARY FILES IT HAS
CREATED... I ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUGGEST
THAT.ANY BASIC PROGRAMMER HAVE THIS GRE
AT.UTILITY ON HAND... JUST IN CASE.IT'S
NEEDED....... FOR THOSE WHO WANT, BRE
AK-FAST, A.ONE-SCREEN WINNER, HAS BEEN C
OMPILED.USING OPTIMIZER #1. WE TRIED US
ING.OPTIMIZER #2 BUT IT WAS TOO FAST TO.
PLAY! RUN THE ORIGINAL VERSION AND.YOU'
LL SEE THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW.22 BLOC
K VERSION IS LOADED DOWN WITH.FEATURES,
IT EXECUTES FASTER... JUST SELECT RUN
IT FROM THIS.REVIEW'S FOLDER AND PREPAR
E TO START.BUSTING OUT BLOCKS. TRY AS Y
OU MAY,.YOU'LL NEVER BREAK LEVEL 10!....
... YOU MAY USE THE JOYSTICK TO MOVE.
LEFT OR RIGHT. OR YOU MAY USE THE.COMMO
DORE KEY TO MOVE LEFT AND THE.CRSR-RIGHT
KEY TO MOVE RIGHT. FOR.THOSE WHO LOVE
THE <> KEYS, THEY WORK.ALSO. THE KEYBOAR
D IS MORE RELIABLE.FOR ME.... ****
