There's still something funny going on with WIDTH, though I suspect it is not a fault with the language itself. I have a program, already compiled, which uses WIDTH. It is the program where I reported problems earlier.
Using the new 6.12x I can run the program and get the right results. If I compile the program, however, the version with a$ only gives the length for the "56" and ignores the rest of the phrase. The b$ comes out correctly at all times.
When I recompile, of course, I'm compiling "on top" of the previous compilation so as to preserve the inclusions and the icon. What I'm wondering is whether somehow the recompiled program is using or preserving the BASIC of the previous version?
Does that seem likely or even possible?
OSCLI("FONT Ariel,48,B")
a$="56 o galorïau"
b$="56 o galoriau"
PRINTa$WIDTH(a$)
PRINTb$WIDTH(b$)
OSCLI("FONT")
