BBC BASIC for Windows version 5.90b released
« Thread started on: Apr 11th, 2009, 2:49pm »
I'm pleased to announce the release of BBC BASIC for Windows version 5.90b. This is to fix a couple of bugs recently detected, which I considered were of sufficient seriousness to justify a new release:
1. VAL("\") resulted in a 'Missing \' error. VAL is not supposed ever to give rise to an error; in v5.90b VAL("\") returns zero as it should. The same bug could result in an error if "\" was entered in response to an INPUT statement. Note that EVAL can still give rise to a 'Missing \' error.
2. The presence of a label in a program (even if not used) caused any 'No such variable' error to report the wrong line number (ERL), and to highlight the wrong statement in the editor. In v5.90b 'No such variable' errors are reported corrected even in the presence of labels.
I have taken the opportunity to include the TIMERLIB library with the BB4W distribution, although it is not documented in the manual.
