MMEdit V5.4.0 has been uploaded.
There are changes to cater for STRUCTUREs
also YMODEM

I took the opportunity to update much of the syntax code. This should reduce the number of times that MMEdit gets it wrong.

I also updated the XMODEM code to better handle fast connections.
Transfer speeds are noticeably faster.

I have made some progress on updating the syntax files. Still more work to do but I think I have captured most of the new commands.

Lastly, I found a couple of places that 'may' cause a crash. There may still be more but I have had a few weeks without any problems.

Hi Jim,

In the Linux version of MMEdit, you have pre-set the line to open MMB4L (files/preferences/external programs).

This pre-set is incorrect (it has been wrong long before, but I never gave this feedback to you).

For MMB4L V0.6 and newer it should be:

-e %q%mmbasic -i %bas%%q% &disown

Thank you for your continued support on MMedit. A great way to work with MMBasic.

P.S. The "-i" can be omitted once you have debugged the program, which in my case virtually never happens. The "-i" keeps the terminal open so you can see the error message.

I have uploaded a new copy of V5.4.0 at 0500UTC 27/1/26
Hopefully it has fixed the problem with XMODEM on Linux.

To save downloading the full ZIP, I have attached the MMCC exe file.
You may have to set permissions after replacing the old MMCC

MMCC.zip

Technical info:
MMCC looks for the XMODEM SEND xxx command being echoed (looking for error messages).
The Linux version does not always see the echoed command. I have yet to find out why so I assume it has been sent OK and send the starting <NAC> anyway.

@Jim,

The new MMCC works. It tries Y-modem first I guess. Not sure what the non-ASCII characters are at the end (before the prompt).
