A-Shell Consolidated Reference

Rewritten May 2024

Although probably not of much immediate interest to modern ASB programmers, those who came from the AMOS world may be interested to know that the features of ASB can be broken down into the following three sets:

Source

Descriptions

AlphaBASIC

The entire AlphaBASIC 1.3 and 1.4 language.  Use the compiler switch /o to limit support to just the 1.3 standard and maintain RUN binary compatibility.

AlphaBASIC Plus

Selected features from the AlphaBASIC Plus standard.  Use compiler switch /x:1 to enable.

A-Shell

Features unique to A-Shell. In most cases, the language elements have been inspired by features in other languages, but are not intended to be code compatible with any other BASIC standard. Use compiler switch /x:2 to enable.
