Omikron Basic 7.5 (Beta) for Mac OS X
The programming language Omikron Basic for Apple PowerMac is now
available as beta version 7.5.
It is now possible to use the control word COMPILER "Carbon" to compile programs in such a way that they run native under Mac OS X. However, most programs do not need to be modified to still benefit from the new functionality. Only the Extension Library and the EasyGem Library have to be replaced with the latest versions. Only direct operating system calls integrated into the program manually have to be checked for Mac OS X compatibility. Of course, the new version still generates classic applications as well, if required.
In addition to the two compiler control words COMPILER "Carbon" and COMPILER "Classic" the new BASIC command CALLR has been added as well. The new command may be used to effectively call assembler routines such as the ones directly integrated in BASIC programs with the Assembler Library because all parameters are passed in registers.
Omikron Basic 7.5 prices start at $53 for the lite download version. The professional version costs $143 and is supplied on CD. Registered owners of Omikron Basic 7 can upgrade free of charge. Registered owners of Omikron Basic 6 can upgrade at a discount.
Omikron Basic 7.5 requires System 8.6 and 12 MB of available memory.
