<h3>DOS Commands</h3>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>MON[,C][,I][,O]<dd>Traces DOS 3.3 commands ('Commands', 'Input' and 'Output')
|
|
<dt>NOMON[,C][,I][,O] <dd>Cancels tracing of DOS 3.3 commands ('Commands', 'Input' and 'Output')
|
|
<dt>OPEN <var>filename</var>[,L<var>len</var>] <dd>Opens a text file.
|
|
<dt>APPEND <var>filename</var> <dd>Appends to a text file.
|
|
<dt>CLOSE [<var>filename</var>] <dd>Closes specified (or all) open text files.
|
|
<dt>POSITION <var>filename</var>[,R<var>num</var>] <dd>Advances position in text file.
|
|
<dt>READ <var>filename</var>[,R<var>num</var>][,B<var>byte</var>] <dd>Reads from a text file.
|
|
<dt>WRITE <var>filename</var>[,R<var>num</var>][,B<var>byte</var>]<dd>Writes to a text file
|
|
<dt>DELETE <var>filename</var> <dd>Delete a file
|
|
<dt>RENAME <var>oldname</var>,<var>newname</var> <dd>Rename a file
|
|
<dt>PR# <var>slot</var> <dd>Same as the BASIC command
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p><var>Other DOS commands are NOT IMPLEMENTED.</var></p>
|
|
<p>Some sample files are present in a server-side store loaded on-demand into a client-side virtual file system (VFS). Creating or writing to a file will write to the VFS. Subsequent reads will read from the VFS. Files may be deleted from the VFS. These changes will not persist if the browser is refreshed or closed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>DOS Error Codes</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Error codes can be determined by calling
|
|
<code>PEEK(222)</code> in an ONERR handler.</p>
|
|
|
|

<h2>Input and Output</h2>
|

<!-- ================================================== -->
|
|
|
|
<h3>Input</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The page attempts to emulate an Apple II keyboard. Note that the keyboard
|
|
API available in Web browsers is not standardized and is poorly defined;
|
|
a best-effort has been made testing on available systems and browsers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <em>Open Apple</em> and <em>Closed Apple</em> keys on later Apple II models
|
|
correspond to the Button #0 and Button #1 inputs and are emulated on modern keyboards
|
|
with the <em>Left Alt</em> and <em>Right Alt</em> keys respectively if possible,
|
|
otherwise the <em>Home</em> and <em>End</em> keys respectively.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Since the <em>Tab</em> key is necessary for keyboard access to browser functions and
|
|
the rest of the web page, it is not available. Otherwise, special keys can be detected
|
|
using <code>GET</code> (blocking) or <code>PEEK(49152)</code> (non-blocking):
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table style="margin-left: 3em;">
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(8)</code><td>Left arrow
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(10)</code><td>Down arrow
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(11)</code><td>Up arrow
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(13)</code><td>Enter or Return
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(21)</code><td>Right arrow
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(24)</code><td>Clear
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(27)</code><td>Escape
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(127)</code><td>Delete or Backspace
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Output</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The page attempts to emulate the display of an Apple II system with
|
|
80-column card firmware, which can be activated with the
|
|
<code>PR#3</code> statement.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When printing characters, <code>CHR$()</code> functions as expected for values
|
|
from 32-126 (printable ASCII). Control characters have the typical Apple II meanings:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table style="margin-left: 3em;">
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(4)</code><td>DOS command escape prefix
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(7)</code><td>Make a "beep" (if your browser supports it)
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(8)</code><td>Backspace (move cursor left, wrap up)
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(10)</code><td>Line feed (move cursor down)
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(13)</code><td>Carriage return (move cursor down and to left edge)
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(127)</code><td>Displays a cursor glyph
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If 80-column firmware is active, the following additional codes are available:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<table style="margin-left: 3em;">
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(11)</code><td>Clears from the cursor position to the end of the window
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(12)</code><td>Move cursor to upper left and clear window
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(14)</code><td>Set normal text output
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(15)</code><td>Set inverse text output
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(17)</code><td>Set display to 40 columns
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(18)</code><td>Set display to 80 columns
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(21)</code><td>Deactivate the 80-column firmware
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(22)</code><td>Scroll display down, preserving cursor position
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(23)</code><td>Scroll display up, preserving cursor position
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(24)</code><td>Disable mousetext
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(25)</code><td>Move cursor to upper left (but do not clear window)
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(26)</code><td>Clear the current line
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(27)</code><td>Enable mousetext
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(28)</code><td>Forward space (move cursor right, wrap down)
|
|
<tr><td><code>CHR$(29)</code><td>Clear from cursor position to end of line
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The text window can be changed and cursor finely controlled
|
|
with <code>POKE 32,<var>n</var></code> ... <code>POKE 37,<var>n</var></code>

<h2>Process and Grammars</h2>

<!-- ================================================== -->
|
|
<p><em>For the even geekier in the audience...</em></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Compilation is done by splitting the input into tokens which are then
|
|
consumed by a recursive descent parser which outputs a JavaScript
|
|
object representing the program.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The token types (treated as terminals) are
|
|
<code>reserved</code>,
|
|
<code>identifier</code>,
|
|
<code>string-literal</code>,
|
|
<code>number-literal</code> <a href="#hex">[5]</a>,
|
|
<code>operator</code>,
|
|
<code>line-number</code>,
|
|
<code>separator</code>,
|
|
<code>remark</code>,
|
|
<code>data-declaration</code>
|
|
— take a peek at the code if you want the gruesome details. Source lines may
|
|
only start with line numbers or (as an extension) separators. Special statement
|
|
parsing is done while lexing: <code>REM</code> consumes anything to the next
|
|
line break, and <code>DATA</code> statements yield an array of strings
|
|
from the comma-delimited, optionally-quoted values in the source.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>[x]<dd> zero or one occurences of x
|
|
<dt>{x}<dd> zero or more occurences of x
|
|
<dt>x|y<dd> one of either x or y
|
|
<dt>(x)<dd> grouping construct
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>Overall program parsing is done with a recursive descent parser.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
Program = Line { Line }
|
|
Line = line-number Statement { separator Statement }
|
|
Statement = data-declaration | remark | Command | EmptyStatement
|
|
Command = identifier /*...*/ | reserved /*...*/
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Due to the irregular structure of the BASIC language, statements ("commands" in the above grammar)
|
|
are parsed with distinct cases for each statement type.
|
|
Most statements compile into a function call to a library of Applesoft routines. Expressions are parsed
|
|
with a standard recursive descent parser. The parser generates JavaScript expressions for each expression,
|
|
which are used as arguments for the library calls.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
Expression = OrExpression
|
|
OrExpression = AndExpression { 'OR' AndExpression }
|
|
AndExpression = RelationalExpression { 'AND' RelationalExpression }
|
|
RelationalExpression = AdditiveExpression { ('=' | '<' | '>' | '<=' | '=<' | '>=' | '=>' | '<>' | '><') AdditiveExpression }
|
|
AdditiveExpression = MultiplicativeExpression { ( '+' | '-' ) MultiplicativeExpression }
|
|
MultiplicativeExpression = PowerExpression { ( '*' | '/' ) PowerExpression }
|
|
PowerExpression = UnaryExpression { '^' UnaryExpression }
|
|
UnaryExpression = ( '+' | '-' | 'NOT' ) UnaryExpression
|
|
| FinalExpression
|
|
FinalExpression = number-literal
|
|
| string-literal
|
|
| 'FN' user_function_name '(' Expression ')'
|
|
| reserved '(' Expression { ',' Expression } ')'
|
|
| identifier [ '(' Expression { ',' Expression } ')' ]
|
|
| '(' Expression ')'
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Since Applesoft supports re-entrant error handling and synchronous input,
|
|
the output of the compiler is an array of statement-functions plus an executor
|
|
function which implements the logic for walking over the array.<p>

<h2>Extensions beyond Standard Applesoft</h2>
|
|
<!-- ================================================== -->
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li id="def_fn_string">
|
|
<code>DEF FN</code> supports string and integer functions
|
|
e.g. <code>DEF FN IN$(X$) = " " + X$</code>
|
|
— the return type must match the argument type, so string-to-number or number-to-string functions
|
|
can not be implemented.
|
|
<li id="eqeq">
|
|
"Double equals" <code>==</code> is supported for equality comparisons, with the same meaning as "single equals" <code>=</code>
|
|
<li id="chr_extras">
|
|
When printing characters, <code>CHR$()</code> values greater than 255 generate glyphs that might be useful for implementing certain maze games. <em>(An earlier version of this page allowed arbitrary Unicode characters to be displayed, but the text is now displayed using bitmaps so that is not possible.)</em>
|
|
<li id="hscrn">
|
|
<code>HSCRN(<var>x</var>,<var>y</var>)</code> is added to allow reading the
|
|
hires screen. On a real Apple II this required a machine-language routine (or a shape table and <code>XDRAW</code>) and
|
|
extensive knowledge of the Apple II's color generation scheme.
|
|
<li id="hex">
|
|
Hexadecimal number literals are permitted, with <code>$</code> as a prefix, e.g. <code>POKE $C010, 0</code>
|
|
