And now, from the author of the DOS Disk post, a post that actually relates to this newsgroup.



Is there any way to compile an Applesoft BASIC file to machine language?
Either a BIN file or a SYS file; BIN would probably be easier to do. I
tried the Beagle BASIC Compiler, but it seems to only compile COM files,
which, when transfered to another disk, result in Integer BASIC files.
Here is the short program I want to compile:

10 FOR X = 8192 TO 16383 : R = INT(RND(1)*256) : POKE X,R : NEXT X

It fills page 1 of Hi-Res graphics with TV static. This happens very
slowly. I know it can be done faster, after all there is a routine to
clear the screen.
