I hope you don't mind me saying so, but neat as this library is it adds nothing to the readability or portability of code unless the same library is available for the other platforms. It's fine for those who intend to only stick to the PicoMite but attempting to then port a program over to the CMM2 or ARMmite would be impossible. MMBasic itself isn't always 100% portable as the Pico uses unique internals, but at least it's usually possible to see what's going on and, if necessary, re-write routines.

All I'm saying is that, unless someone is writing code that they know can't be run on anything else (it may be using a PIO or the HSTX for example) then it's probably better not to use this library as it is RPxxxx specific.
