Known Issues

The if command does an integer comparison unless the first operand is a floating point number.  So if you want to compare a floating point variable you need to use the following syntax:

if 0.0 + varb > varb then

endif

Notice the 0.0 was added to the first operand.  This tricks the compiler into a floating point compare.

This Release has some major syntax changes that are pretty sure to break your code.  The easiest way to fix the code is to compile and then double click on the error in the compile form.  This will highlight your error.  Place the cursor just to the right of the command a hold down the right mouse button until the context menu pops up.  Select the Insert Parenthesis option.

All the sample code and libraries have been modified. We will start making the modifications to the code on the forums and the web site.  This will take some time but it will be worth it in the long run.
