1.41 29 Jun 2005

  • FOR...NEXT code rewritten, speed/size improvements and
    "FOR var = 0 TO 255" now works! [Jon]
  • Instances of "#" changed to "(hash)" in debug output to

  • Added "+" and "-" numerical constant optimizations [Jeff]
  • Fixed bug that allowed statements such as "A=()" [Jeff]
  • Added -O3, assignments skip a temp variable. Code is larger,
    but should be slightly faster on optimizing interpreters (BROKEN!) [Jeff]
  • Implemented new GOSUB and RETURN, very slow :( [Jeff]
