The next version of Batari Basic is available!

Get it at Kirk's website: http://alienbill.com/2600/basic/

It features:

vastly improved parser - not nearly as sensitive to spacing
score calculation improved.
slight kernel improvements
alphanumeric labels allowed, and labels/linenumbers are now optional.
blank lines allowed
indexing (array-like feature) implemented
data statement implemented
fixed bug in inline asm where it was impossible to add labels
one boolean now allowed in an if-then (&&,||)
ability to access individual bits
fixed bug where return command wasn't recognized
for-next loops added
dim statement for alternate variable names
Upon compilation, DASM shows bytes free in ROM
removed exotic illegal opcodes that would cause problems in some emulators, 
like PCAE
Included files are now in cr/lf format to patch a limitation of DASM
fixed various bugs in pfpixel and pfhline routines
on....goto added
Fixed problem where duplicate labels were created
FAQ and Command reference started.
other things I can't remember.
