This version adds support for Windows Mobile Smartphone devices.

Hi Erel, Great News! And thanks for adding IntPtr! Also, if my device doesn't have .net CF 2.0 installed, then do the PPC executables and smartphone executables target .net CF 1.0? Is there a way to ensure this? If the Windows exe target .NET 2 then that's fine. Thanks.

[Erel]

If .Net 2.0 is not available then it will use .Net 1.0.
You could always change the created config file and force it to use .Net 1.0 even if .Net 2.0 is installed.

The compilation process was changed in this version.
If you are asked to find a file named ilasm.exe then your computer is probably not installed with .Net Framework 1.1.
Press cancel and install it: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Do not use other versions of ilasm.exe as it will not work properly.
Basic4ppc copies ilasm.exe to its own folder: c:\Program Files\Anywhere Software\Basic4ppc Desktop
So if you've already found a wrong version of ilasm.exe then you should delete it from Basic4ppc folder to allow it to find the right version.

Msil?!

[Erel]

A little bit.
Currently it only used to reduce the compiled file size.
Next version will use it more...

Congratulations!

Now I can imagine the speed improvement of version 6.0

Well done Erel

Congratulations on a new release! I just received the upgrade pricing E-mail and am wondering what the difference is between B4P Standard and Enterprise. I see that Enterprise includes upgrades whereas Standard does not, so would that mean if I upgrade to Standard from the registered 5.00 license I use now, I would have to pay a similar amount to upgrade to 6? What if I wait for the other speed improvements in 6.0 before purchasing an upgrade? Cash has been tight lately, so I want to be sure I understand how this new scheme works before I decide which upgrade path to take.

- All my best,
