[Mr. Kibernetik]

WOW!
So much work on this!

[Dutchman]

I have a look now and then on this forum.
The app however is still less attractive then Basic!, at least for my applications.
Some examples:
Basic! has a more attractive infrastructure with data-, terminal- and edit-screens.
In Smart-Basic you have to make a backup of your program BEFORE you start editing, because a program start will overwrite the original.
The file-handling of Smart-Basic has to be improved.
'Normal' text-files can not be handled as files of text-lines, but should be read word by word.
There should be a possibillity to read complete lines, also for the INPUT command.
……
Smart-Basic however is superior in speed and gives the possibillity to define user-functions.
There should be more however to attract new users.
