I write all my numberless Basic in QD and use F10-"sbas/qd" to parse and test run it from there.
BasicLinker will produce from that a numbered SBasic file and error reports.
The numbers are only needed & helpful to get BasicLinker to point my QD to the error line.
When no more errors are ...

It works a treat, Martin, at least on the program I tried it on. Thank you :)
The removal program appears to remove 114 bytes more than the size of the Qlib_run I just compiled into it. Is that normal?
Adding it again using your program restores the object to the "correct" size, ie 114 bytes less ...

I normally load up Qlib_run, Turbo_TK, ptrmen, Qmenu, PHGTK, Dbas, and a bunch of other "standard" toolkits and system extensions in my boot file so I dont have to faff around every time I want to fire up some well-worn - or rarely used - program, or to test anything new. I run the same boot file ...

Thanks Martin!
Id be more interested in a utility to entirely remove any built in runtimes..

In compiled code and SBASIC the location of keywords are converted to fixed addresses in the code. So no looking through the Nametable .

Do you mean the NAME LIST ?

The name list is only used while parsing. You can, for example, compile a program without including the names of variables ...

But it might be due to the fact that I complied from QDOS with a few SMSQ/E keywords in the code (SCR_BASE, SCR_LLEN and DISP_MODE). That didn't cause an error on compiling, but might have caused instability that resulted in the error I saw...???

I was just hoping that I could write a single ...

The reason, why the version with LEN is faster is IMO because LEN() is a function from BASIC ROM, and so will be found much faster in the name list than my STRLEN% function, which is LRESPRed after "tons" of other SuperBASIC extensions. AFAIK names in the name list are not indexed, i.e. names ...

It all works fine in SuperBASIC, but when compiled with QLiberator, it stops with:

Q_LIB error 19 Indices wrong

The line giving the problem is:

3245 e%=FPNG(x$,"ram1_test_pic",scrMode%)

Anyone found this before. I just assumed it would work, but am I missing something?

As it works in ...

Oh well, that wasnt too hard. I wish Id had this years ago when it might have been of some practical use.. I guess this cost a bit back then.
I see the PSION license text is still attached..

There is extra Xchange info in the Thor F2 manual, including the extended character set (very useful ...

I doubt Marcel ported the command line history. He would have written it from scratch.
