V6.03.02b0 is available at https://github.com/UKTailwind/PicoMite/releases/tag/PicoMite-V6.03.02b0

This include a big change I have been wanting to do for ages - single element arrays. WHY?

Single_Element_Dimensions_Briefing.pdf

In addition there a bunch of small bug fixes.

Please try existing programs on the new release. In theory the change shouldn't have broken anything but....

Report any issues on this thread - thanks

If the program in memory gives some odd errors after the update reload it from source.
There may have been some token changes.

Eg Backlight becomes CtrlVal( .

Hi Peter,
Is it possible to make the COLOR MAP(N) command work in MODE 1 to set the current PRINT and TILE color?

It's much more convenient to programmatically specify the available 16 colors as numbers than as RGB(255,255,255) constants, which are still converted to the same 16-color (4-bit) code for tiles.

Web ping works if there is a dns to resolve the name and the address accepts pings

Try
> web ping "www.geoffg.net"

Not sure what you are asking for. COLOUR MAP works in mode 1

Yes, but in other modes (2, 3) the MAP(n) function works directly without any initialization of arrays
MODE 3
For n=0 to 15: ? Hex$(Map(n)) : Next
0
80
4000
4080
8000
8080
C000

works for all non-local dns names, but doesn't work for me with local DNS names, even not if they are fully qualified like "dnsname.fritz.box"

My fritzbox IS acting as a local DNS and works with all local dns names in Windows and Linux as there are no extra entries in the hosts files. Is there anything else I could have done wrong?

What happens if you connect with a dynamic IP instead of static?
