There's an announcement for 5.6.2 from July though. I was able to find the release notes for 5.6.3 though and it looks like there's a lot of compatibility features for D3 in that release. Has 5.6.3 been officially released? On Friday, October 20, 2017 at 6:36:42 AM UTC-7, Mvreply wrote: Ian, jBASE 5.6.3 is not a beta. I can provide download details can be provided if you submit a ticket to [email protected]<javascript:>. We now have a new component of the compiler that allows for case insensitivity mentioned earlier. On our current development build (which hasn’t made it yet to a build you can try), we have an option like this that allows case insensitivity on variables and keywords. $option nocase So your code can look like this $option nocase a = 10 if a < 10 then print "a is less than 10" end IF A EQ 10 THEN PRINT "A = 10" END In one of our alpha releases this new option gave us some errors, so we disabled it in jBASE 5.6.3 to ensure our customers didn’t have problems. It looks like you have one of these errors on an earlier release. If this is the case (and it could be something different) you can try setting this: export JBC_JPP2=0 or on Windows: set JBC_JPP2=0 and hopefully the problem will go away. These errors are now fixed on our development build. The next release of jBASE will have case insensitive coding (without these silly errors, apologies). It will also have object support and JSON support which will allow your BASIC code to have a look and feel of JavaScript (but it isn’t JavaScript) as well as backward compatibility with all your existing code – watch this space!
