Apple][e/PD/PIC/!PICbasic/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

MANUAL FOR !PICbasic (Application)
This file describes the program PICbasic which assembles a tokenised BASIC
program containing PIC mnemonics into a binary file called 'OUTPUT' ready
to be programmed straight onto a chip,or tested in a simulator.
The manual and software are (C)1997 SPROW
INSTRUCTIONS-
If you're using this software from a BBC it will appear as a series of
directories,which you may wish to rename or move to save on typing in
long pathnames every time you use the software.
ADFS users on an 8 bit Acorn may prefer to delete the files !Sprites and
!Boot since they are meaningless.
If you're using this software from a machine running Risc OS then it will
appear as an application with a pretty icon.
Double click on the icon to start the interpretter (in Risc OS) or CHAIN the
main program (on any Acorn).
If the source code program contains any unsupported commands then these will
be bypassed and execution continues.See the text files in the 'Docs' directory
for more details.
Try typing "HELP" or "HELP." for some online help
If memory is short then a 'Squished' version is supplied,and running this in
shadow MODE 135 on a BBC Master 128 will also free up some more memory.
TIMING -
The program in 'K2Sauce',which is one of the examples,the following times
were observed when run in V0.97 on the following machines
Master 128 in MODE 135 = 2410s (about 40 minutes)
Master 128 with 2nd processor = 1681s (about 28 minutes)
Risc PC 700 with VRAM = 27s
Risc PC StrongARM = 6s
EXIT MESSAGES-
None of these messages set ERR or ERL.If an error message occurs that IS
accompanied by a number on the screen then this signals that it was noticed by
BASIC and those with no number is an error that I've noticed
eg. Escape 1070
>
You've pressed Escape and it just happened that you were at line 1070 in
the interpretter at the time,NOT line 1070 in the source code file.
eg. Missing #
>
My interpretter has rejected this as you've missed a # out of a mnemonic
that requires a literal after it
"Command not supported" - only the commands indicated by HELP. are allowed
"No help available on that topic" - all help details can be shown using HELP.
"File not found" - filing system could not locate the source code
"Bad program" - BASIC files are assumed to start &0D and end &FF
"No program loaded" - you tried to LIST or RUN before loading the source
"No such mnemonic" - implies a non PIC mnemonic was used
"Bad option" - assembler pseudo mnemonic OPT must be < 8
"Too big" - generated by the binary interpretter,14 bit numbers maximum allowed
"Don't use the '$' operator" - generated by the expression interpretter
"Silly" - the mnemonic EQU was encountered and PICs can't have in line data
"Bad Binary" - binary numbers must be at least one character long
"Missing #" - instruction such as XORLW needs a hash then a numeric after it
"Missing ," - instruction such as MOVF needs two comma separated variables
"Syntax error";"No such variable";"Missing "";"Mistake" - as per BBC basic
"No FOR";"No TO";"Bad DIM";"Type mismatch";"Can't Match FOR" - as per BBC basic
"STOP";"Too many FORs";"No FN" - as per BBC basic
KNOWN PROBLEMS/FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS-
See the 'Limits' file for more details.
More keyword support will follow in the future.
It's all written in BASIC II syntax,and is as small as possible - so it can
infact be run on a BBC since that is where a lot of my software authoring
is done.
HISTORY-
See the 'Fixed' file for more details.
V0.90 Internal version,worked well enough to meet my requirements.
V0.95 Many enhancements,also assembly is now about 20% faster than in 0.90
V0.97 Improvements to FOR...NEXT structure and slight speed increase
V0.98 Adds STOP,CLS,and END keywords,plus HELP has been improved.Faster too 00000000 4d 41 4e 55 41 4c 20 46 4f 52 20 21 50 49 43 62 |MANUAL FOR !PICb| 00000010 61 73 69 63 20 28 41 70 70 6c 69 63 61
