The same is valid for constant and line label names.

News in version 9.0
- Z80 Simulator IDE is now an automation (ActiveX) server/client application. This feature enables communication with external simulation modules that can be developed by home developers and third parties using various Development Systems for Windows. For more information please visit my web site and take a look on Special Features page. The first external simulation module that I developed is Character LCD Simulation Module and it is available for free download. Enjoy!
- Improved integrated basic compiler:
- You can write constants now in all three common number systems (Constants can be used in decimal number system with no special marks, in hexadecimal number system with leading 0x notation (or with H at the end) and in binary system with leading % mark (or with B at the end). Keywords True and False are also available for Boolean type constants.)
- New CONST directive for defining symbolic constants
- New SETBIT and RESETBIT statements
- Extension of logical operations to Short data type variables Please take a look at updates Basic Compiler Help Topics.
- Improved functionality of memory editor (When the entered value is confirmed by pressing Enter key, edit box will automatically move to the next memory location. Edit box can be moved freely over the memory table using arrow keys and it can be closed by Esc key.)
- New I/O Ports Editor (This is access to the graphical interface for the control over the complete I/O ports range. Information in the I/O Ports Editor window is consistent with the Peripheral Devices window.)
- Three standard features by now are now optional:
- Prompt For Value Before IN Instruction (This option will force the program to always prompt user to manually enter every incoming byte on all ports. If it is off the value will be taken from Peripheral Devices or I/O Ports Editor window.)
- Enable IN/OUT Instructions Logging (When this option is enabled the program will log all IN and OUT instructions in IO.TXT file located in application folder. Every IN and OUT instruction will append a new line in that file.)
- Show Confirmation Boxes (When this option is enabled the confirmation boxes showing results of operations will be displayed and will require user response to be closed.)
