LB Booster version 1.70 released
Post by Richard Russell on Feb 1st, 2012, 4:17pm
I've updated LB Booster to version 1.70:

Changes in this version are as follows:
DATE$ will accept a template with '-' as the delimiter instead of '/'. So for example DATE$("dd-mmm-yyyy") returns "29-Jan-2012".
Printing to the mainwin has been slightly altered to improve compatibility with LB4.
INPUT$(#h, n) now reports an error if n is greater than 65535.
RESTORE (used in a SUB or FUNCTION) now works correctly even if it appears after the DATA statement(s).
New command-line options -R, -T, -A and -M are implemented, which work much the same as their Liberty BASIC counterparts.
The -T switch causes LBB to save a translated and tokenised (it really is!) file with the extension '.lbb'. I have made available a run-time engine which can be used to run such files:

Since LBB's standalone compiled executables are so compact it will rarely be appropriate to use the separate run-time engine, but it might be useful in conjunction with a 'menu' program which provides a selection of programs to run. For the time being I would consider this an experimental feature.
Richard.
