Hi Andrew,

You've resurrected the "alpha" thread, you need to look at the "beta" one: https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?FID=16&TID=14614

  Andrew_G said  2) Is there a newer version of MMB4W?

The latest stable release is 5.07.03b10. There was a b11 but it was unstable. I'm currently doing some work for Peter that may become the new b11/b12 but things have gone a bit haywire in Cassa Williams over the last couple of weeks.


  Andrew_G said  3) Is there a newer release of the manual.

Has there ever been a manual for MMB4W ? My observation is that Geoff generally doesn't produce a manual until an MMBasic port reaches release candidate (RC) state.


  Andrew_G said  4) the TCP command makes it so easy to access the web from a PC - is there any possibility of a similar one on the PicoMite (albeit with some LAN connector?) (the ESP8266 is a poor second in my view).

<Raises shields and retires to a safe distance> .

I shouldn't speak for Peter, but I imagine anything that he could do in this area with the PicoMite firmware could first be done (albeit with worse performance) by someone else in MMBasic (or a CSUB). If/when that happens I imagine Peter would take a view of whether to port it into the firmware (space permitting).

Best wishes,

Tom
