I'm pleased to announce the release of LB Booster version 1.86; it may
be downloaded from here:
http://www.lbbooster.com/LBB.exe (IDE/compiler)
http://www.lbbooster.com/LBBRUN.exe (optional runtime engine)
This version incorporates changes to improve performance and enhance
compatibility with Liberty BASIC 4.04, including:
1. The SCAN statement executes more quickly (when there is nothing to
do), which speeds up some programs.
2. PRINT #file executes more quickly (and is translated into BBC
BASIC more sensibly).
3. Windows Constants are accepted with additional underscores, for
example __SW__NORMAL__ (an undocumented feature of Liberty BASIC).
4. The "!insert" command leaves the inserted text selected
(highlighted), as it does in LB4.
5. Compatibility of PRINT and LPRINT with LB4 has been improved when
commas are used for tabulation.
6. PRINT and LPRINT now use independent tab counters, so that using
LPRINT will not upset the tabulation of PRINT (or vice versa).
7. Attempting to read past the end-of-file (using INPUT or INPUTTO$)
raises an error (code 62).
8. A string function need not return a value.
