I've converted No_Clue (the crossword solver) from CMM2 to MM-Basic for Windows and it is fully working without issues (famous last words). Simple conversions as it's just a text juggling program. Just had to change the way the cursor flashed and a couple of other minor things. Set to run in Mode 14 as I like this in a little window on my desktop. Change the 2nd line to your own mode preference.

Peter is #INCLUDE on the roadmap ?

What about the other niceties (and eccentricities) of the CMM2 pre-processor ?

Best wishes,

Tom

Yes please Peter.

I still hold faint hopes for #INCLUDE on the Pico.

He may surprise me, but I think that when Peter says that isn't possible he won't be exaggerating ... it would certainly require significant changes to the edit/load/run program life-cycle and would also only be possible for PicoMites with SD cards.

Best wishes,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I guess my idea of it is too simplistic. I thought it would just be a matter of noting the included filename(s) as the main file is loaded and then loading and appending them to the end of the original file.

I feel it would be a handy addition to any MMBasic version that uses an SD, HDD or SSD as a storage medium. A pity that .INC files are only available to the CMM2 and of course your MMb4L.

Definitely no on the PicoMite otherwise as Tom says it breaks the lifecycle. Load a program with includes and then edit and the includes are in the edit so why have them separate in the first place.

Includes will be there on the windows version eventually. Need to crack sound and serial first. Then implement the CMM2 editor + a lot of other support stuff.
My current intention is to implement ALL CMM2 functionality (except the pin I/O of course) + other stuff like socket support as in the defunct Pi-Cromite

Thanks Peter, I'm hoping that someday programs like ZMIM and SAAINT will run on MMBasic for Windows with little modification.

I look forward to it. Thank you again.

Yes thanks Peter. I did see that. I was meaning the 'non transpiled' version meant for the CMM2. I suspect that will happen when you implement the #INCLUDE directive.

Hi matherp,

Could you upload ZMiM versions for your MMBasic for Windows?

Michal

As an interim measure I've uploaded "zmim_win.bas" to my official Z-MIM GitHub repository, use this link to download it:

https://github.com/thwill1000/cmm2-zmim/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Note that this version expects to be extracted into a directory named "zmim" in your default path (as set with OPTION DEFAULT PATH).

Best wishes,

Tom

Michal said Thanks

No worries.

Note if you are interested in how the code works then look at the original files in the "src/" directory, not the transpiled form. Even then it isn't "state of the art" MMBasic code as it is written in an MMBasic 4.5 compatible subset of the current language.

Best wishes,

Tom

Starting on serial. First step to identify com ports available
Use:

LIST COM PORTS

to get a list of all ports available

use function

COMPORT(portno)

to check if a particular port exists

e.g

? COMPORT(22)

identify com1 and com29

why "list com Ports" but the command use Comport() ?
