Post by admin on Jan 6^th, 2007, 10:18pm

I'm pleased to announce the release of BBC BASIC for Windows version 5.50a. This update includes the following new features:

* Compatibility with Windows Vista is improved.
* EXT# may now be used to *set* a file's length.
* QUIT now takes an optional exitcode parameter.
* The AnimateWindow API function is supported.
* Console-mode executables may be created.
* Compiler directives may now be incorporated.
* The program's output window has a different icon.

If you already have the full version of BBC BASIC for Windows you can update your copy, free of charge, by downloading and installing UPGRADE.EXE from here:

If you don't yet have BBC BASIC for Windows but you would like to try it, you can download a free non-time-limited evaluation copy (capable of running many useful programs) from the same address.
