Please excuse my poor post, think twice-write once algorithm was switched of in my brain along with trying to multitask, which we all know only occurs in machine code programs on the QL and our female partners
It should have read as Clearly tha author has! I have installed this programme on a USB stick to carry around with and play with at opportune moments. Th text is small on modern day hi-res displays, the editor could still be improved but still looks fun Have started thinking about a writing a 'port' program (taking the standard QL range of commands) to convert SuperBASIC listings to this SpecBAS, JFTHOI :) However RasPi to QL BB is the priority ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 10:32 AM, Lee Privett <lee.priv...@gmail.com> wrote: > Clearly, have installed this on a USB to carry around with and play with > at opportune moments > > Text is small on modern day hi-res displays, editor could still be > improved but looks fun > > Have started thinking about a possible writing a possible port program > (taking standard QL range of commands) to convert SuperBASIC programs in to > this SpecBAS, JFTHOI :) > > However RasPi to QL BB is the priority > > > > On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 9:10 AM, Malcolm Lear <malc...@essex.ac.uk> wrote: > >> On 27/02/2012 12:38, Marcos Cruz wrote: >> >>> En/Je/On 2012-02-23 10:40, Stephen Usher escribió / skribis / wrote : >>> >>>> need for a modern equivalent to the old home computer systems and >>>> the BASIC language which came on them. >>>> On the home computer front, >>>> On the scientific front, >>>> >>> I forgot to mention the SpecBAS project by Paul Dunn ( >>> http://specbas.co.uk). >>> It's a BASIC interpreter based on the old ZX Spectrum's BASIC, but much >>> improved, more powerful and multiplatform.
