Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Guys and Gals (if available )

I generally updated all my Duinomites to current MMBASIC and actually never tried the old DMBASIC really out, but are there any useful but exclusive implementations or does current MMBASIC have it all within?

Does anyone of you still run any Duinomite with the old DMBASIC and for what reason exactly? Is it worth it to set it back probably for special tasks?

Andre ... such a GURU?

DMBASIC was essentially a renaming of my MMBasic Ver 2 with a few additions (and the copyright changed). This was before later versions of MMBasic for the Duinomite added features such as the elimination of line numbers, functions/subroutines and much more.

It is easy to load DMBASIC (and revert back to MMBasic) but I doubt that it would be worth it. It would be like installing Windows 3.1 on a PC to see if it was superior to Windows 10.

Thanks Geoff.


Of course DMBASIC is generally old and outdated, but are all individual additions of DMBASIC transferred to MMBASIC or has there anything particularly been left out of consideration?

Is there any single programmable function DMBASIC can do but current MMBASIC can not?
