Re: Testers wanted for BBC BASIC (Z80) version 5
In the tools I'm using only the first six characters of a symbol are significant, that's why it's supposed to be ELLIPS (not ELLIPSE) throughout, like BRAKET (rather than BRACKET) etc. But that one s…1 -
Re: Testers wanted for BBC BASIC (Z80) version 5
Oh, that's a pain (from a testing perspective). I seem to be running the latest version (4.19, 1st May 2023), do you believe the developers are aware of this bug? Hmm, I didn't think any of the earli…1 -

On my Windows 11 laptop mem%% is &20F42B71314 - definitely not in a 32-bit-addressable range! Luck, I imagine. But after that 'false start' it does seem to be working, and it's going to make a hu…1 -

Re: Testers wanted for BBC BASIC (Z80) version 5
Ah OK, fair enough (I'm quite pleased really because I wouldn't have wanted to be responsible for distributing any of Microsoft's products without permission!). However not everybody is so scrupulous…1 -
Re: Testers wanted for BBC BASIC (Z80) version 5
Having received no further reports of bugs (of course I have no idea how much testing has actually been done!) I have created a repository on GitHub here. This version currently announces itself as 5…1 -
Re: Testers wanted for BBC BASIC (Z80) version 5
