Hi, this is great news indeed! On menu_rext, I seem to have a version 8.02, iss there a significant difference with 7.66 on your website?

Re: [Ql-Users] Smsqe 3.28
Hi, Maybe wrong, but at least the behavior was the same as on Minerva. Minerva allows this, at least with v1.63 to v1.98. So how does Minerva handle PRINT a$(6 to) or higher indices in that case? And if it conks out, how is 5 different from 6? I could have sworn that I tested it with Minerva, but apparently not. Wolfgang asked me to de Yes I did, and I know that you spent a lot of time hunting this down. Thank you! QDOS SuperBASIC (AH, JM, TB, JS, MGG, TY05) does not allow this and all report error -4. That seems right to me. Surely trying to access an element of a string that simply isn't there should give an error! Try to compile it This is quite a change of behavior for SMSQ/E's SBASIC. I fail to see why this would be such a major upheaval. Getting a bit closer to SuperBASIC, but not 100% identical because SBASIC reports the error as -168. Which of course is also the case if you try any higher indices. But due to the fact that our S*BASIC variants handle this differently most likely the programmers gave attention to this. Only time will tell if this fix is a good one or if we see programs failing which worked until v3.27. It's not as if it were irreversible if it broke many programs. Wolfgang ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Before doing so I checked the behaviour of the old ROMs and I could have sworn I checked Minerva, too, but apparently not :( Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List
