I have an Amiga, not an Atari, but my experience may be similar. a couple o
years ago I bought the HiSoft compiler and the True BASIC compiler for the
Amiga. neither one was great, but the HiSoft was compatible with QuickBASIC
3.? (not the 4.x that was out at the time). True BASIC for the Amiga was
not very close to QuickBASIC, and the Amiga version of that time came with
nothing that could translate.

In some ways, the Atari is closer to a PC than the Amiga, so your situation
might be better, but be careful. I had a fairly complex (about 2k lines)
non-graphical QuickBASIC 4.0 program that I wanted to run on the Amiga,
I put the project on hold because it would been practically impossible
with HiSoft, and very tedious with TrueBASIC.

If you havn't made use of the recursive calls and other nice features of
4.0+, or HiSoft has a 4.0+ compatible version, you might be in good shape.

I hope my info is not totally out of date, it has been a while...
