Trouble Shooting


"basic" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Right-click the folder "BASICEn", and then select "New Terminal at Folder".
On the terminal, type xattr -rc BASIC.app and then hit the RETURN key.


Known Faults

(1) NOTXOR (or MASK, MERGE, XOR) Draw mode does not work correctly.
(2) The behavior of MOUSE POLL is no good. The button state can be changed once after mouse clicked outside of the Graphics window.
