Wintermute_BBS<p>I'm currently checking out options for doing a little coding on a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MSX1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSX1</span></a> system (real and emulated, when abroad). There's an adapted <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/F83" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>F83</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Forth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Forth</span></a> here (<a href="https://github.com/janaite/msx-forth83/tree/master" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/janaite/msx-forth83</span><span class="invisible">/tree/master</span></a>) but while it's working, it's not optimized for 40 colum mode. And on MSX1 you only have 40 columns.</p><p>Then there's a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BASIC</span></a> compiler from the former, dutch "<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSX</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Club" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Club</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Gouda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gouda</span></a>" named <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Mozart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mozart</span></a> which compiles your MSX BASIC code and gives you some speed improvement - it's here (<a href="https://download.file-hunter.com/Program%20language/Mozart%20-%20Compilador%20BASIC%20para%20MSX%20(1990)(Cibertron%20Software)(br).zip" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">download.file-hunter.com/Progr</span><span class="invisible">am%20language/Mozart%20-%20Compilador%20BASIC%20para%20MSX%20(1990)(Cibertron%20Software)(br).zip</span></a>).</p><p>And, of course there's <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TurboPascal3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TurboPascal3</span></a> for MSX which does support 40 column mode (run TINST.COM to set up screen). It's also here (<a href="https://download.file-hunter.com/Program%20language/Turbo%20Pascal%203.01a.DSK.zip" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">download.file-hunter.com/Progr</span><span class="invisible">am%20language/Turbo%20Pascal%203.01a.DSK.zip</span></a>)</p><p>Aside from that you could use a C compiler like <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SDCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SDCC</span></a> or <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/BDSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BDSC</span></a> under <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MSXDOS1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSXDOS1</span></a> ...</p>
