Sinclair Extended BASIC
Posted By: icabod, Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 11:37 PM
Apologies to Andrew Owen for the slight delay in posting this. Hey, I'm slack.
He's made updates to a couple websites, both updates focusing on BASIC, in particular his new SE BASIC.
First up we have a (new?) site dedicated to the various versions of Sinclair BASIC, hosted over on WOS. Aside from providing various patched versions of the standard ROMs, it's quite an interesting read from a ZX-History point of view.
Next up is a large update to the ZXSE page, covering mainly SE BASIC, a bug-fixed, enhanced version. Something that's looking intruiging is that Andrew is working with Peters Plus to ensure the new version works on the Sprinter.
Anyway, on the page is some interesting techie-info you may like to look at. I'd copy it to here, but that'd just be silly.
I've also received a beta-release of SE BASIC, which is currently going through compatibility testing (yes some problems do exist due to "empty" area of the ROM now containing code). I'll have a play with it when I get more spare time (I want to ensure "Viking Raiders" will run <g>). Until then, here's a couple of the large list of changes:

- New text-mode (42-column) along with replaced system font.
- Some commands renamed.
- Fixed loads of bugs.
- Keyboard decoding routine rewritten.
- Oooh, loads of others.
