TURBO-BASIC XL 1.5 is a fast [BASIC|Basic] interpreter for the Atari XL and XE. It was written by Frank Ostrowski and first published in the German Happy Computer magazine in 1985.
TURBO-BASIC XL 1.5 is a fast [BASIC|Basic] interpreter for the Atari XL and XE. It was written by Frank Ostrowski and first published in the German Happy Computer magazine in 1985. TURBO is fully compatible with [Atari Basic|Atari BASIC], but fixes some of its well-known bugs and replaces its notoriously slow loops and math functions. The result is that TURBO will run any Atari BASIC program, but do so around three to five times as fast!

If that were not enough, TURBO also includes a suite of new keywords and functions to improve on the original. These include structured programming concepts like {{WHILE}} loops and similar, DOS commands that allow you to manipulate files without exiting to the DOS menu, DPOKE and DPEEK for working with 16-bit memory values, editing commands like RENUM, and debugging commands like TRACE.

And if ''that'' wasn't enough, Ostrowski also released the TURBO-BASIC Compiler, which lets you take your completed programs and compile them so they run 15 to 20 times faster than Atari BASIC. The compiler comes with an associated runtime library, so the resulting programs run on machines without TURBO being loaded.
