BASIC programming
Sinclair/Timex BASIC programming — POKE/PEEK/USR, type-in listings, renumbering, BASIC techniques.

Across both eras, BASIC programming on the list has been first and foremost an archival activity: re-typing listings from old magazines and books so they survive in modern formats. That mission shows up explicitly in 2008 when zxbruno asked whether "homemade" (non-commercial) type-ins were worth uploading and was told yes (#1001888), and it powers the sustained recent campaign by Adam Trionfo and David Anderson to enter classics from Time Designs, Sync, Sinc-Link, the Boston Computer Society newsletter, and Jeff Mazur's Intermediate/Advanced Guide, then test them on real 2068 hardware and on FUSE/EightyOne/ZEsarUX (#977, #1487, #788, #3061, #2347). The consensus, voiced early by Edward Solly, is simply to grab a book and start typing — there is still no master index of what is already archived, and tapes keep rotting.
The central modern tool is zmakebas, a C program that compiles ASCII BASIC into a TAP. Tim Swenson's tsmake preprocessor translates TS2068-only tokens (SOUND, ON ERR, RESET, STICK, FREE) into Spectrum equivalents (#736). The group worked out its quirks together: embedding inverse / PAPER / INK escape codes for reverse-video text (Obstacle Run, #788), the backslash-as-block-graphics escape, weak sanity checking (Jeff B, #3783), and Borland TurboC builds corrupting SOUND. Ryan Gray became the de-facto maintainer, fixing ZX81-mode bugs and ON ERR / DELETE handling (#3047, #6038). zxtext2p is an occasional substitute, and Ryan's modern projects (QuickFont) now keep a zmakebas-text master under version control with a Makefile. Other dev tooling discussed: PASMO, Z88DK / Boriel (Eduardo Fuentes; #3431, #4733), KliveIDE, and the TimeMachine BASIC compiler (which several couldn't get working, #3782). On the alt-ROM side, the Yahoo era documents Andrew Owen's whole SE BASIC / OpenSE BASIC lineage: announced in early 2006 with SOUND-command compatibility for TS2000 programs (#1000874), iterated through 2010 (2.13–2.18, #1002754) with bug fixes to RENUM and ON ERR, and released as a GPL replacement ROM via pledge drive in 2011 (#1002901). Open81 (a GPL TS1000 ROM) came out of the same effort. Recent alt-ROM work (Dohany ROM, OS-64) descends from this thread.
Recurring technique questions got concrete answers in both eras. Bitwise ops: Sinclair AND/OR are logical, not bitwise — Ryan Gray and Jeff Burrell supplied INT-based DEF FN formulas (DEF FN b(n,x)=INT (x/n)<>2*INT (x/(2*n))) for testing individual bits without machine code, and Kevin Personal's loop using IF X <> Y*2 THEN LET B$(F)="1" builds an 8-bit binary string the long way (#3958). Machine code from BASIC: store as decimal in DATA statements and POKE into a CLEARed area, not in REM lines (#3301; 30 Music Programs and the Tech Manual cited). Renumbering: Jay Carlson posted a self-contained renumber listing (#4663), and the discussion drifted into Sinclair's dual ASCII+binary number storage with chr$14 as the separator token (Ryan, #4756). FRAMES (the 60 Hz frame counter) underlies background clock displays, and CLEAR 65019 / RANDOMIZE USR 65020 is the canonical recipe for keeping a USR routine alive across NEW (David, #2877, #2906). TS1000 vs TS2068 BASIC compatibility is asked once per decade and gets the same answer each time: it's an evolution, not a superset — keywords and graphics differ, tape encoding is different, and David Ornstein's Firstloder / commercial Upload 2000 are the conversion path (Fred Meunier in 2019, #1004054; thread #2707 in 2023). Obscure 2068 commands got their first deep writeup back in 2002 from Edwin Krampitz Jr.'s eight-part series (PRINT #n streams, BEEP precision past 69 semitones, etc., #1000143). The infamous DELETE bug in 2068 BASIC — a long-edit-line corruption that Jack Dohany fixed with a 32 KB swap-EPROM in the late 1980s — was first surfaced on the list back in 2006 (#1000908), context that still informs current replacement-ROM work.
A distinct sub-project, almost entirely modern-era, is putting BASIC programs onto cartridges (AROS/DCK), driven by Jeff Burrell and Jeff Kuhlmann (qwertyfan2000). Findings: AROS-compliant BASIC can't rely on pre-initialized variable-area values (PEEKs see RAM, not the ROM image — Ryan's QuickFont surprise, #2281), TAP CODE headers can be non-standard, and the workflow is zmakebas → raw binary → DCK image, debugged as a simulated cartridge in emulator RAM before burning to EEPROM (#2138, #1797). Burrell wrote DCK-creation utilities in PowerBASIC and cross-platform Python (tapToCart); the Timex Technical Manual and Bill Jones' "Extra Memory Programming" article are the reference docs. Drift cases worth noting: the Library Tape archiving thread (#2347) is mostly tape/WAV mechanics but produces actual BASIC listings as a side effect (Frank's W5GAA HAM pattern program extracted as text); RPGs on T/S 2068? (#4733) drifts into a BASIC-vs-MC-vs-Spectrum-port discussion (Tim Swenson: find a Spectrum RPG written in 100% BASIC and it'll run on a 2068); TS2060 parallel/serial (#4519) is hardware on its face but really about BASIC channels/streams as the user-facing API; the Christmas Demos thread (#5237) drifts into attribute-cell color theory; and Druckenmiller's 6850 ACIA driver in #3958 is straight OUT 126/127 / IN 126 BASIC. Notable people across both eras: Adam Trionfo and David Anderson (archiving/type-ins, modern), Ryan Gray (tooling, QuickFont font editor, recovering his own 1980s listings — #1590), Tim Swenson (compilers, tsmake), Jeff Burrell and Jeff Kuhlmann (cartridges), Andrew Owen (SE BASIC / OpenSE BASIC), Eduardo Fuentes (Z88DK, Core War port, #3900), Philip Kendall and Fred Meunier (FUSE emulator authors, both active on the Yahoo list).
Key threads
- TS2068 Music Maker; was: Thank you, Tim Swenson! (#736 on groups.io) — Origin of the modern workflow: zmakebas + Tim Swenson's tsmake preprocessor for turning ASCII BASIC into runnable TS2068 TAP files.
- Renumber Programs (#4663 on groups.io) — Jay Carlson's self-contained BASIC renumber listing plus Ryan's deep explanation of Sinclair's dual ASCII+binary number storage with chr$14 — the canonical BASIC-internals thread.
- How to do Binary Comparison (BIT Test) in Timex Basic (#3958 on groups.io) — Settles that Sinclair AND/OR are logical not bitwise, with Ryan Gray's INT-based DEF FN b(n,x) one-liner and Kevin Personal's 8-bit binary-string loop as the standard workarounds.
- BASIC to cartidge (#2138 on groups.io) — Anchors the AROS/DCK cartridge sub-project: Jeff Burrell's tapToCart utility, Ryan's QuickFont discovery that cartridge BASIC PEEKs see RAM not ROM, and the variable-area / header pitfalls documented byte-by-byte.
- Clock program (#2877 on groups.io) — David's BASIC clock using FRAMES at 60Hz, plus the CLEAR 65019 / RANDOMIZE USR pattern for keeping a USR machine-code routine alive across NEW.
- Jeff Mazur's Four Sound Examples from his T/S 2068 Guide (#1487 on groups.io) — Adam's careful run of the AY-3-8912 SOUND tutorial programs (tremolo, vibrato) on both real hardware and ZEsarUX — the cleanest pure-BASIC sound-chip demo on the list.
- Math Subroutines Book by Richard Booth (#3782 on groups.io) — Jeff Burrell's zmakebas typing of the Applied Sinclair plotting library — a long real-world test of the type-in workflow, zmakebas's limits, and the unreliable TimeMachine compiler.
- Obstacle Run (#788 on groups.io) — David's archetypal type-in with embedded inverse characters and PAPER/INK control codes — the case study for handling tricky BASIC escapes in zmakebas.
- QuickFont (#1590 on groups.io) — Ryan revives his 1985 BASIC font editor, fixes bugs, and walks all the way to v2.4 with a zmakebas-text master source under version control — model project for modern BASIC maintenance.
- Silly question (DELETE bug) (archive.org) — Yahoo-era 2006 thread surfacing the famous 2068 BASIC DELETE-key bug on long edit lines and Jack Dohany's late-1980s 32 KB EPROM fix — context behind today's replacement-ROM work.
- TS2068 / TS 1000 BASIC Compatibly (archive.org) — Yahoo-era 2019 thread where Fred Meunier (FUSE author) gives the definitive answer on TS1000-to-TS2068 BASIC compatibility — the same question the modern list keeps re-asking.
- Sinclair Extended BASIC... (archive.org) — Yahoo-era 2006 announcement of Andrew Owen's SE BASIC replacement ROM with SOUND-command compatibility for TS2000 programs — start of the SE BASIC / Open81 / OpenSE BASIC alt-ROM lineage (#1002754, #1002901).
