- I don't know if there has been an update since v1.05, but this had several
- improvements over the 1.04 in RISC OS 2.00. I can't recall most of them,
- but I do remember that it gives proper error messages when errors occur
- in libraries (i.e. the real library line number is given as ERL instead of
- the last line of the main program!), and it also allows
- IF whatever THEN :REM a multi-line if-then statement
- do-something
- ENDIF
- while BASIC 1.04 took the first line as being a single-line IF-THEN.
- (Actually a bit annoying as it broke several programs of mine that relied
- on the fact that I could say:
- IF condition THEN :REM I must write some code here!
-
- There are also some new instructions I think...
