I have posted an update to MMEdit. There are a few big changes to the behind-the-scenes. All INF files for the main program combined into MMedit4.inf - This means that your preferences will need to be re-configured. Syntax help changed to a common CSV file and a series of HTML files. F1 with the cursor over a 'word' will give you a brief tooltip syntax hint and shift-F1 will open a new mini-browser with the full syntax. MMEdit help changed to HTML using the same mini-browser. Both the MMEdit help and the Syntax help are also available on my website and I will try to keep them up to date. Save as HTML option added. This was needed while creating examples for the help files. Normal 'load and run' uses temp.bas as before but shift- 'load and run' saves file with it's own name on relevant devices. Likewise, shift-load in the chat window uses the file name instead of temp.bas Find now continually cycles through the file. Variable report has option (In INF file) to set the long line warning level. and report layout width. If you don't want the long line warning, set it high. In Chat window, option to filter VT control codes in ASCII view. That makes viewing the CMM2 output easier. File Manger resizes directory lists when resizing window. If you edit the INF file to change colours, you may notice the first lines: [Styling] Editor Font = Courier New If you do change the editor font, make sure that it's a mono-spaced font or things will not go well. And a few other cleanups. I managed to remove over 1000 lines of code so I hope I didn't go too far! If you want to tidy up the data files, delete (or backup) the data folder before installing. Your antivirus will most likely complain. Microsoft have me as an "unknown publisher" so you have to go down the "more info/run anyway" route to install it. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Thanks Jim. Much appreciated. I couldn't find the "Buy You a Beer" Button. Brian ChopperP |

No, I didn't change a few pointers. You should be able to set them in Preferences until I fix it. I will update with a fix in a day or so. I knew there would be a few things I missed. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

I have fixed the problem and the current version on my website 'should' be OK. To save downloading the full program, you can replace the mmedit.tkn file in the program folder with the one in this zip. (only do this if you were running V4.1.0) MMedit.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Hi Jim Been getting this error fairly regularly for a number of weeks now in Chat mode from the CMM2. (A & VT modes) Just updated the TKN file to see if the fault was still there. It was. (The date stamp on the Log had me fooled for a tick or two). Been using Tera Term instead as you suggest with no problems. (Only just found the Error.Log file yesterday after reading the new help files) a non-continuable protection violation has occurred. Check ERROR.LOG file. Error log timestamp 11/9/2020 16:58:35 The registers were: EIP = 0x0245a88c ESP = 0x0019e8d4 EBP = 0x0019e8e4 EAX = 0x104c325c EBX = 0xffffe5bb ECX = 0x66303b30 EDX = 0x000128a1 EDI = 0x1007e18c ESI = 0x101af6c4 CS = 0x00000023 DS = 0x0000002b ES = 0x0000002b SS = 0x0000002b End Registers ChopperP |

I haven't seen that one for a long time... This is the standard response I usually give: Windows might have changed something. They are always changing something. The Chat window uses a lot of memory at times and I have no control over it's memory management which could be why you are seeing it there. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Thanks for that Jim. I will look into your suggestions. It did settle down a bit last night. Brian ChopperP |

What does MMEdit do behind the scenes to upload a basic program to a CMM2? Are there a sequence of commands such as [Ctrl-C] [Carriage Return] AUTOSAVE "<filename>.BAS" [Carriage Return] or something like that? Are there serial port pacing settings that work best? Thanks.

It depends on what method you choose. I prefer 'load' from within the chat window. It uses AUTOSAVE and relies on you to do the ctrl-C and NEW if desired first. There is a line delay which is user-configurable. The actual delay used with AUTOSAVE is double the set value. In my case that's 10x2=20mS It has to cater for all the slower micromites as well as the CMM2. If you use 'load and run' from the editor, there are a number of options you can choose to do during the upload such as set the time. This method uses XMODEM instead of AUTOSAVE. Jim VK7JH MMedit |
