 Additionally, these functions are tailored for //BBC BASIC for Windows// (and BASIC V on other platforms). They will not work on other versions of BBC BASIC. If you need code to work on other versions of BBC BASIC or need code that is version/platform neutral, see other appropriate references, such as the [[http://beebwiki.jonripley.com|BBC Micro Wiki]]. Additionally, these functions are tailored for //BBC BASIC for Windows// (and BASIC V on other platforms).
