GFA Compiler status

The bugs related to the missing procedures and labels has been resolved. Further testing needs to be done and some translations before it can be released. A new error message has been added. GBE is now able to place the cursor on the offending line and properly report what went wrong.

I'd like to thank some people for their translation work:
... GokMasE for the Swedish translation
... kellis for the French translation
... Ozk for the Norwegian translation
... SWE for the Slovenian translation
... Curly, Juergen Liebenstein, and Ulf Dunkel for the German translation

GFA Compiler status

I have discovered more bugs in the GFA Compiler. It is currently being investigated and hopefully a solution can be found.
The compiler translates these to JSR 0.l and JMP 0.l, which is very bad to say the least.

GBE Status

Resolved the floating point problems in the STOS import module.

Floating point format in the amos import module also corrected. Still working on this one. ;o)

Do to the way extensions work in both of these products, files using extensions cannot be 100% detokenized. Suffice it to say, the extension scheme was poorly implemented. :-P

Current status

Created an Applesoft Basic import module. This one is completed.
There seems to be documents about this format that do not agree. I also found files in both formats. My import module will now load both types.

I started an amos (amiga) import module, but it's not finished yet.

The STOS import module was never finished either.
