My collection of smaller tools related to CBM computers like C64 or C128.
cbm-basic is a simple tokenizer/detokenizer to convert your BASIC PRG files into plain text files or back.
Usage:
cbm-basic [fileName]
Supported command line arguments:
-h, --help Prints this help text.
--start-address [num] Defines the load address of the basic program. [num] is decimal (default) or hexadecimal (when prefixed).
-o, --output [file] Sets the output file to [file] when given.
-m, --mode [mode] Sets the mode to `compile` or `decompile`.
-d, --device [dev] Sets the device. Supported devices are listed below.
-V, --version [vers] Sets the used basic version. Supported basic versions are listed below.
In `compile` mode, the application will read BASIC code from stdin or [fileName] when given and will tokenize it into a CBM readable format.
Each line in the input must have a decimal line number followed by several characters. The input encoding is assumed to be PETSCII.
In `decompile` mode the application will read in a BASIC PRG file and will output detokenized BASIC code.
Each line in the output will be prefixed by a decimal line number and a space. The output encoding is assumed to be PETSCII.
Supported devices:
c64, c128
Supported BASIC versions:
1.0, 2.0, 3.5, 7.0
(Planned) Converts PRG files to audio files that can be used with a datassette.
