Hi all
   be warned: 
   it appears that the NIB (4-bit 'nibble') variable type is broken
   the following code does not run the way it did in v.7.1.0.3

XN VAR NIB
XW VAR WORD

XN = 1
DEBUG [DEC XN,13]

MAIN
XN = XN + 1
DEBUG [DEC XN,13]
XW = XN
DEBUG [DEC XW,13]
GOTO MAIN

    if you change the variable type of XN to BYTE or WORD, the code
runs as expected. i may well be the only poor schmuck who used the
NIB type but i wanted to warn any other coders. I've run across a few
other new 'features' especially in the implementation of FLOAT
variables but none as booby-trapped as this one! 
    my enevironment is Win95 (just because i'm a near-fossilized
curmudgeon) so i'm curious as to whether folks with newer versions of
Mr.Gates private operating system have the same problem. Please let
us know.
    Meanwhile i guess i've got a few lines of code to re-write..... 

just spitting with joy...
