Below is a link for a "free" Positron8 and Positron16 compilers update that corrects some anomalies that have crept into them, and adds new features and devices to them.

Download Positron Corrections and Additions Update 4.0.6.2-1.1.3.2

Run the downloaded update executable, and it will update the Positron Compilers with the corrections and additions listed below.

No money is being charged for this update, but a donation to Paypal would be most welcome, and allow me to continue improving the compilers. The Paypal name is: "storypainter@hotmail.com". Thank you.

Addition and Corrections made in version 4.0.6.2 of Positron8 and version 1.1.3.2 of Positron16

Positron8 and Positron16 Addition
Added extra information into the Positron8 and Positron16 compilers manuals.

Positron8 Corrections
Corrected concatenating Quoted String of Characters into a Byte array. i.e. ByteArray = "Hello ", "World".

Corrected Complementing integer values within an expression, when the value is an aliased constant value.

Corrected assigning values to a Byte array at its creation, if the array has more than 255 elements in it.

Corrected CreadX commands, when the assignment is a Long type variable.

Positron16 Corrections
Corrected Complementing integer values within an expression, when the value is an aliased constant value.

Corrected a stack overflow if too many CPtr into Ptr commands used together. i.e. Ptr16(Address++) = CPtr16(Address++).


Note.
This corrections update will not add the new devices to compilers before the 4.0.4.x "upgrades". It will give an error message if a new device is tried on an earlier Positron8 compiler version.
The addition and correction updates, and all future "upgrades", are for the Positron compilers only. The, now redundant, Proton compilers will not function if the updates are installed over them. To upgrade to the Positron compilers, please message me here on the forum, and I will give the details for the Payment of only £39.99 to Paypal.
