I'm really looking forward to the new SpecBAS stuff (and AGD too) but still got plenty to explore in the current version while I wait :)

The new job is ace - I'm working from home (so I can be out of bed by 08:55am and at my desk by 09:00, with coffee on tap and no need to even get dressed) and earning more than I was previously. It's win-win. I'm also now one of the developers of one of the most successful music studio software packages ever created, which is great fun. And the rest of the team are pretty bonkers too :)
Keep the bug reports coming, and any suggestions too. I'm making notes of what people ask for, ready for when I get time to return to it. I fix bugs immediately, mind!

Congratulations! Today I am also working from home - but that is an exception, because I am the only one who works today. ;) Actually I am working in a call centre for the technical support for different clients.

Are you still in the medical field?

No, I am now writing Music software, as I said. I work from home. I don't get kicked, punched, bitten, spat at, urinated on or daubed with faeces on a regular basis. It's heaven compared to what I was doing before :)

So that you can have a display that looks like a standard windows application were you can load and run the .bas. The editor would be optional.
Maybe it is even possible to "compile" the .bas into an exe wrapper that loads the display application and runs the program, in order to be possible to distribute a program just as one file, the run-time will have to be installed of course, but it would be much easier than install specbas, place the .bas in the correct place and run it.
I haven't give a lot of thought about this, I just think that as it is it only interest old zx programmers, but it could be a very easy way to write windows programs.

You can already do that - use a PACKAGE to store the exe and data, then launch it from anywhere with SpecBAS.exe. It will run and then auto-close on error. The package is a virtual HDD which contains what you need to run your code and nothing more. And it can be run from anywhere.

Hi D :)
Where can I get the latest version of SpecBAS; the last version I had was 0.881 64 bit.
Also, any more news of AGD and the additional learning materials promised on everychildcancode.org - or has that been affected by the shenanigans? :(
