Re: DIM appears to succeed but actually fails
I will take a closer look at this. Edit: It works if you CLEAR before retrying. According to LVAR it leaves a stub array behind, when allocated for some reason END isn't updated. And doing a chain of…1 -
Re: Help with GCC issue
Fair enough. I completely missed that when I read your original post late at night, so half asleep I got the wrong impression. Sorry about that. My mind is also somewhat elsewhere, my big focus at th…1 -

Considering that to exclude the mouse from a window is a most unusual feature, and is probably being achieved by making SetCursorPos() API calls, I still find it hard to believe that it can happen 'b…1 -
Re: BBC BASIC implementation of RANDU
That was a top tip - it works! MODE 3 is arguably even better for maximum clarity. I suppose there's no way of configuring BASIC to start in a particular MODE? Edit: Once in BASIC I was able to do *m…1 -
Re: BBC BASIC implementation of RANDU
The code above makes use of 64-bit integers so won't run in Acorn's BASIC 5, but this version should (not tried because it crashes my copy of Red Squirrel): 10 randu_seed%=1 20 30 n…1
