BBC BASIC on Darwin, with some modules

by gerph 5 years ago

macOS ◆ xterm-256color ◆ fish 1050 views

Some modules now load on the system, and the startup banner can be enabled to show the system as it would have been if it had been running natively. The modules selected are just a sampling of those that will load. Freeway and FreewayHosts initialise happily, and broadcast the system name, but at the moment there is no receive handling so it isn’t aware of remote systems yet.

*FX now works, as provided by the OSCommands module, and now correctly reports the version of the system.
