A new version of CamelForth for the Z88 is now available from the
Z88 Forever! website:

http://www.z88forever.org.uk/camelforth/rom-camel.html

This is a fully ANS-compliant extension of Z80 CamelForth by
Bradford J. Rodriguez, with a multitude of extensions for the Z88.

New in v3.00 are:

* Full documentation now available, including the all-important
ANS compliance document
* Multiprogramming support (with simple demo) - a first for the Z88!
* Package-handling facilities
* Support for TCP/IP and MIMEtools packages
* "Client" application creation, using CamelForth as a package to reduce
your application sizes by 16K
* Revamped easier-to-use application generation utlities
* Major optimisations in text interpreter (6-8x gain in file interpretation)
* Far memory support rewritten to match z88dk
* "Fast code" - inline code compilation facility
* New FOR...STEP structure, plus non-destructive IF
* Improved fully ANS-compliant ACCEPT with extendable editing facilities
* Block line editor
* File/block conversion utilities
* Address register words
* Improved block support, with 1-4 buffers and up to 4 mapped files
* Lots and lots of other changes!

Enjoy!
