                  Personal BASIC V1.2 Release Note
                  ________________________________

                           January, 1985


	This release of Personal Basic corrects several problems in the
previous version.  We recommend that you print out this file and include it
in your documentation.

SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS:


	Declaring line width as 255 now correctly suppresses carriage-return,
	line feed.

	Chaining no longer causes the gradual loss of free storage.
	
	Under Concurrent CPM, the printer is now detached when the close is 
	executed or when a program terminates.

	The default width of the console is now 80, and if a user sets line
        width to a different size it remains that size until changed again
        by another explicit line width statement.

	Close#1 is now accepted syntactically.

	LSET with MKD$ now works correctly.

	SGN now works correctly.

	The  ! identifier for single precision now works correctly.

	The colon (:) is now accepted as the final value on a line, as well as 
	after the then portion of an if ... then ... else ...  pair.

DOCUMENTATION ADDITION:

	INPUT$ FUNCTION:
	
	If  # 0  is used as a file number with the INPUT$ function,
	input will be taken from the console.

DOCUMENTATION CHANGE:

	WIDTH statement:

	The default width for the terminal has been changed from 72 to
	80 characters.  Please update your documentation to reflect this
        change.

                           End of Release Note
