Tuned Simons' BASIC

TSB is the attempt to provide a bug free and enhanced version of C64's well known Simons' BASIC. Almost every main internal management routine and a whole bunch of commands have been debugged, shortened and made stable for any use. Also, because of many left free spaces after that, quite a number of additional commands could be implemented, so that in 1986 I had a real new Simons' BASIC I called Tuned Simons' BASIC, TSB.

In 2019 I added a package of REU supporting commands and re-entered development of TSB. Had I tried to leave TSB compatible to any extra software possibly written for Simons' BASIC in 1986, I now go for a completely new TSB that only uses the known commands and their parameters but internally works on its own which hopefully will provide faster performance.

Download TSB (on a zipped D64 file) from here: TSB on a disk or as a Magic Desk and a Uniprom cartridge file for use with emulators like VICE.
