Re: How to make an Applesoft Basic program Brun-able

[bpiltz@gmail.com]

Well, I've now had success thanks to your pointers. So, I've got Exomized BRUNable BASIC programs executing without the overhead of DOS and turnkey from Beautiful Boot! This is how I accomplished it, feel free to suggest any more optimizations I can do.

1. Clean up original BASIC code, RENUMBER it, use Beagle Bros. COMPACT it.
2. Use GPLE to find out final length of tokenized code
3. Enter monitor $7FD, JMPing to the hex address of LENGTH+1, where I've created a short ML routine. Manually code start and end address of BASIC code, and of code, and set HIMEM pointer ($70) This is where I may need some more help:

$length+1: A9 01 8D 67 00 A9 08 8D 68 00 A9 AA 8D 69 00 A9 42 8D 6A 00 (end code at $42AA) A9 C0 8D 70 00 (HIMEM AT $C000) 4C 66 D5 (JMP to ROM routine for RUN command).
