Regarding the "corrupted" programs FRAGE+AN
, POST
, these look like they are partially tokenised, presumably using KC BASIC tokens. I can't find a list of those online - apparently they are given in a book by Horst Völz - but it should be possible to deduct the translation table from context. A nice puzzle for a slow day perhaps. Some of the other syntax errors and corruption may well also have been caused by a buggy detokeniser.
Note: This site https://hc-ddr.hucki.net/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php/z9001/ contains descriptions of and downloads for the BASIC used by Robotron. In particular, there's a Perl script basic-decode.pl
in https://hc-ddr.hucki.net/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php/z9001/basic.zip - this doesn't work unchanged on the corrupted files, but it does contain a token dictionary that agrees with the few tokens I had guessed from context. So it could be used to create a script to fix these files.
There's another (Windows-only, but works under WINE) conversion program included in https://www.basicode.de/download/BACOBAS3.zip . Using that, I've updated POST
and FRAGE+AN
based on the original SSS
binaries.
