Native Mode Debut

Post by dkinzer »

I'll be posting an announcement on Monday regarding the availability of the ZX-24n, ZX-40n and ZX-44n native mode devices. Shortly thereafter a new Native Mode forum will be created, essentially the public version of this forum. New topics should be posted to that forum when it becomes available.

A new installer will also be posted on the download page for the release versions of the compiler, et al.

An installer for the release version can be found at http://www.zbasic.net/download/zbasic-setup_2-4-1.exe

Note that we have changed the extension for the downloadable file generated by the compiler. It is now .zxb for both native mode and VM mode devices. The content of the downloadable file hasn't changed, just the extension. This changes solves a problem that would arise if a native mode target were selected in the Device Options dialog but the source code contained an Option TargetDevice directive that specified a VM mode device (or vice versa).

Thanks go to Mike for both pointing out the problem and suggesting a simple solution for what at first appeared to be a difficult last-minute issue.
