Hi all, now that Github has added a discussion feature I will be consolidating all support, bug reports and discussion there. The new discussion forum is at https://github.com/robhagemans/pcbasic/discussions.

Soon, these forums will be closed. Let's continue the conversation at GitHub!

PC-BASIC legacy release 1.2.15

Rob Hagemans — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 07:13:52 -0000

Yes, it's on the list, along with changing the default install on pc-basic.org. And migrating discussions to github, now that it has that feature.

Oh, while I'm thinking of it: maybe consider changing the docs redirect to the 2.x branch on pc-basic.org by default?

Thanks for your awesome work here, Rob! I was curious about the 1.2 — I've exclusively used 2.x and wondered about the dual status.

PC-BASIC legacy release 1.2.15

Rob Hagemans — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 23:01:51 -0000

Hi all, I've uploaded PC-BASIC 1.2.15. This release brings the following improvements:

fix issue #93: diagonal steps in DRAW with scaling % 4 != 0
fix issue #96: INT should round towards negative infinity - this was broken for INT(x) in range -1 < x < 0
fix crash on WIDTH "COM1:", 255 if no serial port connected (issue #98)
backport fix for issue #120 and tests
fix issue #101 - python2 hangs on exponentiation with large numbers
backport fix for issue #102 - crash on changing graphics page after changing video memory size
possible fix for issue #138 Crash when codepage is set to sp65001

The 1.2 branch is now inactive and this is likely to be the last 1.2 release. Thanks everyone!

Rob

LLIST & LPRINT

This other 'Post' window just popped up -- I just clicked 'Cancel' but all it does is delete the text in the window!

Thanks much, Mark, for the reply --
If I remember correctly, back in the day, you could enter "LLIST" while in the program and it would send a listing to the printer.
I'm pretty sure I tried your sugg. recently - (LLIST then exit) , but it still didn't print for some reason, although I just tried again, and it did print after exiting -- so thanks for that tip; I guess that's all I needed to know, although it would be nice to be able to 'LLIST'
from within the program.
