 Just did some downloads from your site to get some things I'd missed befor=

 this day am still improving - it's up to about 30K of executable binary at=
 this point on an STM8 MCU and I hope to go no further than about 40K to 50=
K, but feature creep is hard to fight off. Mine is a hardware-centric BASIC=
 though, with support for I/O and serial of course, but also A/D, SPI, I2C,=
 timers, and all of those can be tied to interrupts via interrupt service r=
outines written by the user in BASIC, and I made it all extremely easy to d=

mmands.=C2=A0 I also have a working feature packed DOS for my BASIC (simila=

ion these days - 5 years going I'm still improving it.=C2=A0 Maybe one of t=
hese days I might have the time to port it to the SBC-85, but I'd need to t=
ranslate it from C to assembly - not technically difficult as I know the MC=
S-80/85 family hardware & instruction set pretty well, just alot of time an=
d keystrokes....
All my best,Roger

 Hi Roger.
Thanks, I will look into this.
=C2=A0But I am pretty sure that you only need to register if you want to co=
mment on something or if you want notifications of new things. =C2=A0You ca=
n download any content without registering.
So I don=E2=80=99t think you are missing much but I will check it out.
Regards
Craig

=EF=BB=BFDon't know whether or not I really need to register and have an ac=

Anyway, several attempts failed, each one showing the same as the included =

Still, I did download the spec successfully, but would like to peruse the e=

All my best,Roger in Alaska
