Version 7 is out. It is the working ml version. Names are a letter followed by any number of letters and digits. Labels are defined by a name followed by a colon at the beginning of a line. Names are stored as letter pairs in the source. The name itself is displayed on the screen. I was having unexplained results with Rainbow 1.6 on Windows 7 so I copied and pasted the individual files into Rainbow 1.4 on XP before I published them. Just move the folder called the version you want (probably ECBasic 7) into the Projects folder in the Rainbow IDE, and you should be able to open the project when you open Rainbow. As usual they can be found here. I was going to write a cross compiler next, but I think a more reasonable goad is to write a loader in the form of an assembler. It should cut down the wait time at the beginning of a run by a factor of three. And besides, it’s all I really need to write for my IDE for the CoCoNut program for the Palm Pilot.
