Recent releases
- 16 Apr 2002 00:50
Changes: This release contains three bugfixes for PalmOS, one of which is very crucial if there are records larger than 32KB used in MemoDB (used by some third party memo applications). Two new commands for VFS have been added: BGETC and BPUTC.
- 31 Mar 2002 02:24
Changes: This release includes a LIKE operator (regexp), and other new commands DIRWALK, CHOP(), and EXEC (like RUN but never returns). There are now command-line help-pages (with search), and numerous fixes, including ones for CAT(), ENV(), and ENVIRON, the MEMO driver (which crashed on PalmOS), the PDOC driver, and a memory leak.
- 30 Dec 2001 09:44

Changes: Now you can add routines/functions, nested or not. LOCAL keyword added (dynamic local variables). Routines/Functions can pass ('by reference' or 'by value') or return arrays. DECLARE keyword added (declaration needed for multiple-sections - actually, every section acts as module now).
