STOS 2026 BUILD 5.x ALPHA
|
|
STOS BASIC ALPHA- STOS_5.5 Is a rebuild of the original 1989 V2.06 sources that brings the language to modern Atari hardware: Falcon, EmuTOS, 68030 accelerators, and fast emulators all work correctly, where V2.06 typically broke or showed graphics corruption. Under the hood, every trap-based inter-library call has been replaced with direct dispatch (125 sprite traps and 20 music traps eliminated via DT5/DT5F/DT7 macros), and the compiler now emits tighter code for arithmetic and IF-statement patterns. The combined effect on the 54-test benchmark suite is roughly 14% average speedup over V2.06, with several operations (FILL, COPY, SHOW/HIDE sprites, CLS BACK, IF) gaining 30-50%. The editor itself has been patched too ,`LIST` no longer scrolls illegibly on fast machines, the file-selector double-click bleed bug is fixed, and `SYSTEM` no longer bus-errors back to the desktop. Compiled programs are wire-compatible with V2.06 BASIC source — no language changes, no breaking API differences. More tweaks are still being added. So check back often to see if a new pack has been released ! KNOWN ISSUES - None.

STOS GENERIC FIXER
-2014
|
|
NEW STOS GENERIC FIXER - Petari 2014 STOSFP1.ZIP This is small TOS executable, written in ASM. If using older TOS version, below TOS 2.0X need to rename to TTP, so can enter filename what want to fix. In TOS 2.06 and later use drag and drop. Of course, may use it as TTP too in higher TOS versions. Purpose is to make those by STOS created games to work on any TOS version, Falcon, TT, where other STOS patchers like STOSFIX3 would possibly fail. In TOS 2.06 and higher use simply drag & drop of STOS executable file. In earlier TOS versions must use program as TTP, so rename to. Then need to enter STOS program file name. If not in same DIR as fixer, then must enter path too. If program detects that it is STOS executable will patch it. Before it will save original file with extension ORG - only if there is enough space on drive where original file is. There will be no warning in case of some error, so user must take care about free space and floppy reliability before running fixer. There are packed STOS executables (SFX), with diverse packing systems. User needs to depack them first, otherwise will be not updated. If STOS exec is already fixed with some fixer, will be not updated most likely. |

STOS 2014 BUILD 3.00

STOS & STOS COMPILER V300 - Petari & exxos Petari has kindly spent a lot of time fixing the STOS compiler to allow compiled programs to run on any TOS versions without the need for patching afterwards. The second bit of good news, is that while the latest official version of the compiler was 2.7, which only seems to have been available with the STOS 3D package, has since been updated with the assembly source code of version 208 which was posted by Francois Lionet on the Click Team's website some years ago. This is great news as we now have the updated V2.8 source, which has further been updated by petari creating version 3.00! I (exxos) have also fixed some bugs in the compiler ACB and updated to suit the new V3.00 compiler. I have also added in a quick help section to explain what the options are in the compiler.

FALCON STOS 2015
BUILD V300 TOS404
|
|
FALCON STOS COMPILER (V300 TOS404) STOS_FALC_0115.zip - Jan 2015 pack This version comes patched and updated with the Falcon extensions by Anthony Hoskin. These extensions are my full registered versions of the extensions as AFAIK the last version which AH produced. I have had no contact with AH since 1998 so I consider the extension abondonware. Anthony if you are out there then please get in touch! NOTE: The STOS DRAW commands do not function well on the Falcon. These are replaced with Falcon versions such as "_falc draw" instead of STOS's "draw" command. These draw commands are backwards compatible with the ST. Unfortunatly while other extensions like "The Missing Link" may work on the falcon, they will be limited to 16 colours in ST resolutions. Currently I am unware that any world or sprite extensions have been coded for use on the falcon.
