I have seen several references to version 1.48, but can't find it on BasicX's website. The latest version I see is 1.47.2. Is the 1.48.2 a beta version open to beta testers only? Thanks, Dale Seaburg

Dale Below is the link - I think it is still in beta test and that is why it is not posted directly on the web site. I have used it quite a bit and it is a definite improvement over the earlier release. Specifically the Debug.Print problems are improved and variable memory usage is improved. Thank you Ron A. Nucci BasicX version 1.48 is now available for download from http://www.basicx.com/beta/bx-setup-148.zip <http://www.basicx.com/beta/bx-setup-148.zip Compatibility: English Versions only Win95/98/ME/NT/2000 1.48 Changes: Compiler Bug Fix (New version 1.48.2) The Rescue Function was made more intuitive A toolbar has replaced the Chip control buttons Chip properties window automatically opens when not set The default variable string length was lowered from 64 to 16 About window now shows current BasicX and Compiler versions As always, please uninstall any older versions of BasicX before installing 1.48. -----Original Message----- From: Dale Seaburg <> To: BasicX List <> Date: Sunday, March 25, 2001 10:10 AM Subject: [BasicX] Location of V1.48.2 >I have seen several references to version 1.48, but can't find it on >BasicX's website.

Thanks Ron, Unfortunately, that link is no longer valid. :-( Hopefully, Netmedia is readying the 1.48 for release. Would Netmedia care to comment? On another note, what does everyone use for an editor? That builtin to the software provided by Netmedia, or MS-VB? I really do like the way MS-VB does capitolization of keywords and colorization. Makes the code much easier to read. Just curious... Thanks again, Dale Seaburg

I use the same program I do for writing commercial C++, SQL, HTML, and Assembly: Visual SlickEdit. Editors tend to be a very personal thing. Way back in the dark ages (pre-1986), the dominant editor was WordStar, or vi on some systems. I still have the WordStar commands memorized, which is nice for when I'm on a Linux box without X but with JOE, or on an HP 100/200LX box with their limited DOS upon which I've put VDE. (Also, the Borland compilers, when they finally came out, supported the WordStar formatting commands.) Later came Brief; that was a POWERFUL cross-platform system I used on DOS, Windows, AND OS/2. I even wrote a version of Space Invaders in the Brief scripting language one afternoon. But Brief didn't support contextual colorizing of the keywords, while a late-comer (CodeWrite) did. Our office was eventually divided between CodeWriters and Briefers. Since CodeWrite wasn't available for OS/2, I researched editors and moved to VSlick. SlickEdit does colorizing, like VisualStudio, but also does better tagging, supports more languages, and is extensible through programming. Great platform. There's one caveat though.... Us hard-core coders used editors because there were no default ones initially. Compiling was done from the command line. Later, different languages had different editors (for example, ISQL, which is part of Microsoft SQL Server, still has a completely different editor with different commands from Microsoft VisualStudio), which made transitioning difficult for those of us who work on lots of different languages at the same time. But now, VisualStudio provides a decent editor that works across most of their products; it understands and can colorize HTML, VB, Java, C++, etc. VSlick is better if you're working on more-obscure languages (Clipper, Assembly, SQL, Batch files, JavaScript...), all of which fit into my typical week, but VisualStudio's editor is probably more than good enough for a typical Basic-X programmer.
