GFA Status

An update to the library is coming, as a few more bugs were found and squashed. A new interpreter is also in the works that is synchronized with the new library. That means all the changes that were done to the library were also done to the interpreter.

The documentation needs to be updated yet.

When this is completed, all components of GBE will finally be handled by me. I will not have to rely on anyone else.

A time to celebrate

MagiC celebrates a decade of no development. Nada, zilch, zippo, lol
The last known version is copyright 2000.

MiNT rules!

Almost

Another ad shows a homeless man curled up in a ball on a pile of rags. One ratty bed sheet shields him from the cold. The narrator says, "This is Jack Thomas. Today someone almost brought Jack something to eat. Someone almost brought him to a shelter. And someone else almost brought him a warm blanket." After a brief pause, the narrator continues: "And Jack Thomas? Well, he almost made it through the night."

You almost had me convinced.

That's gay

You know those TV commercials that tell you that its bad to refer to something as gay if you don't like it?

Those commercials are so gay.

Frank Naumann

Frank Naumann passed away on the 12th of March, 2010 at the age of 34. Very sad news. My heart goes out to his family. He will be missed in the Atari community.

GFA-Basic Library update in the works

A few more bugs squashed. This update will also contain a new run only interpreter for GBE.

Coming soon...

Updated GFA-BASIC Library released

Ok here it is, finally ready. This actually brings with it a new compiler and linker. If you don't read the docs please note that the components of this archive must not be mixed with older versions.

I've been working on this for a very long time and it contains 127 updated modules. The library is now interrupt free, and hopefully bug free. See the docs for a very long list of changes and corrections.

List of features:
Mostly bug fixes and enhancements.
No radical changes to the library for maximum backward compatibility.
Enhanced CPU/FPU support for machines with an 020 CPU or better (optional).
Unused code removed.
This library is actually smaller than the original library.
Improved MiNT compatibility.
Some small optimizations were done as well.
Line-A use only where it should be used.
Improved error handler with advanced debugging options.
Break key can now be cleanly used in compiled applications.
EVERY/AFTER are now cleanly implemented.
Improved hardware detection for STE only commands.
All vector hooks removed (except $B+ which is optional).

If you have any problems or the docs are unclear, please let me know. I'll do my best to help.
Enjoy.
