The full list (from the change log) is: Fixed an issue which caused glitches or noise on the video output while a BASIC program was running. This particular issue caused random horizontal lines of pixels to be intermittently shifted 8 pixels to the right when MMBasic was running a program (ie, not waiting for user input). A bug which caused the unary negation function to fail has been fixed. For example, PRINT –SIN(2) now works. Fixed a bug which caused the RENUMBER command to miss renumbering a GOSUB embedded in an IF…THEN…ELSE command. Fixed a bug which caused negative numbers in DATA statements to be returned as positive numbers. As a side result you can now use numeric expressions (eg, 8 * 60) in DATA statements. The RUN “file” command now checks if “file” exists before clearing the program currently in memory. This means that if used with OPTION ERROR CONTINUE you can recover from an error when tying to run one program from within another. The semicolon character (;) is now optional between expressions in the print statement. For example, you can now use: PRINT “Voltage is “ x “mV” This was added to improve Microsoft compatibility. Updated the “Maximite User Manual” to V2.4 to include the new features listed above Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net
