Current events

Speech generation via GFA:
If you would like to have computer generated speech in your GFA-Basic applications then check out earx's fixed-up speech.tos.

Hades update:
Upgraded from an old 17" CRT monitor to a Dell 19" LCD monitor. I am amazed just how poor the picture was on that old CRT. Not only was it blurry, but the picture was too dark. The brightness and contrast were completely maxed out and it still looked too dark. The LCD is super sharp and will certainly make coding a lot easier on the eyes.

GFA-Compiler status:
Yet another bug discovered related to the $X option. Another update coming soon.

GFA-Basic Compiler/Linker update

GFA-Compiler (revision 10)
GFA-Linker (revision 7)

- Bug related to $X with VAR fixed
- Bug related to $X with FUNCTIONs fixed
- Norwegian translation added (thanks to Ozk)

It's now possible to properly link DRI object files to any type of PROCEDURE or FUNCITION, with or without pointers (VAR).

GFA-Compiler status

A new release is coming, perhaps in a week or so.

Vague changes:
- Newly discovered bugs fixed
- A new language translation also

Note: The bugs many not be new to everyone, but it's new to me. I didn't know they were there until I happened to stumble upon them. I also would classify them as serious bugs.

Stay tuned...

GFA-Basic Editor v1.40 released

The list-of-changes is rather large. Please read the documentation for all the details.

Note: This version will not work correctly with previous configuration files. You must delete the *.gbe files in your \home\ directory before you use it!

GFA Status Report

Finally some progress has been made on the old GFA-Basic Compiler.
- DIM crash fixed, issues an error message instead
- MAT INPUT crash fixed, issues an error message instead
- $U/$U+ error handling is more stable
- Added a real time line counter that is 040/060 safe, not interrupt driven
These will require a new library:
- MSHRINK() bug finally resolved
- MALLOC(), MFREE(), and MSHRINK(), moved into the lib, was hard coded
- FSNEXT(), FGETDTA(), and FSETDTA() moved into the lib, was hard coded
