Serguei2 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 When reading old Compute! magazines. I noted Sierra released the next step on Atari 8bit. Based on the ads, I wonder if the next is a language between Basic and machine language. I can't tell much from the ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's mainly a character set editor. Check it out at Atarimania: The Next Step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serguei2 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I just tried the new step. It's a character set editor like Mrfish said. I wonder what's the point to buy this software. Is it compatible with Basic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Looks like it will produce BASIC or machine language listings: Personal Computer Museum - The Next Step Antic Article - Grafix At least for character set editing and pumping out screen character codes on the Atari, I've always liked a program called Macro Edit. Lots of nice options to work with: Macro Edit.atr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
