The source and binary are now available. There will be an official release when the palette.data file is finalized, but that could be some time off. No code changes though ... just don't write any software that depends on the current palette. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sebasic/files/OpenSE%20BASIC/ http://www.pledgebank.com/opense#comment_3276316 I have made a minor modification to the code so that the palette file is copied from the ROM to the palette buffer after the attributes. The ERASE command now resets the contents of the palette registers with the data held in the buffer. This is handy when dealing with ULAplus format screens (which contain 6144 bitmap bytes, followed by 768 attribute bytes, followed by 64 palette bytes). http://www.pledgebank.com/opense#comment_3258634 Successfully moved the code over to GNIU binutils with a little help from Chris Smith in the form of a Makefile and a link script. Have uploaded everything except the main source now. http://www.pledgebank.com/opense#comment_3257426 Beta testing is complete and the code is ready for release. However, I'm moving the source over to GNU binutils for easy compilation on multiple platforms. http://www.pledgebank.com/opense#comment_3221135 I've written the quick reference guide. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sebasic/files/OpenSE%20BASIC%20Quick%20Reference.pdf/download Now we just need the remaining signatures and I can release the binary and source. http://www.pledgebank.com/opense#comment_3196516 I have registered the project with SourceForge and uploaded the ZX81 and SAM Coupe source code, plus the OpenSE BASIC definitions file. https://sourceforge.net/projects/sebasic/ I have finished writing the code and it is now undergoing beta testing. http://www.pledgebank.com/opense#comment_3176273 In the UK you can donate online here: http://www.redcross.org.uk/Donate-Now/Make-a-single-donation/Japan-Tsunami-Appeal
