Triton Super Extended BASIC

TRITON SUPER EXTENDED BASIC amalgamated a number of TI XB mods prepared for Gram device owners.

The CALL VERSION(A) command returned a value of 120.

New commands included CALL CHIMES, CALL ALOCK, CALL ALL, a very useful CALL CAT, CALL CLOCK (runs slow in the UK), GOSUB and GOTO with variables.

Enhanced editing features, which allow you to move, copy, delete or resequence PORTIONS of an XB program quite rapidly.

Also it has included on ROM a commercial machine code bit map graphics program called DRAW N PLOT. This allows you to plot bit map graphics, but only off screen- only when completed can you SHOW them, although there is a cursor on screen when you SHOW which allows direct editing. Graphics can be saved and printed and the format is compatible with TI ARTIST.

There is a major conflict in use of VDP between the bit map graphics feature and an XB program, and hang ups may be frequent, especially if you PRINT the picture.

Triton XB requires 32k ram for the graphics feature. There is a graphics program available (CLASS) for Triton XB.

CALL CAT from the command line will catalogue a disk drive directly.

You can also skip the XB auto-load by holding down enter.
