Posts: 2 		I'm pleased to announce the release of 'BBC BASIC for Windows' version
4.00. This version incorporates more than thirty valuable new
features; the headlines are as follows:

+ Structures and arrays of structures are implemented. Structure
members can be any of the normal variable types, arrays or sub-
structures.

+ A byte (unsigned 8-bit) variable type is introduced. This is
particularly valuable as a structure member.

+ A line-continuation character allows long lines to be split for
clarity.

+ The built-in 80x86 assembler now accepts MMX opcodes.

+ The compile utility can incorporate library and resource files
in the executable, often allowing you to distribute applications
as a single file.

+ New debugging facilities (e.g. Run to Cursor) speed up program
development.

The full list of new features can be found at:

Upgrades from any previous version of 'BBC BASIC for Windows' are free.
