I seem to be having some weird problems with this latest version.
If I'm compiling without the -Z flag (which provides the extra Speccy stuff like ATTR) then it keeps complaining about "illegal preprocessor characters" in REM statements and doesn't compile. Specifically it seems to be punctuation which is throwing it out - ?, !, etc.
If I do use -Z (or strip those characters out of the REM statements) then it seems to be a coin-toss as to whether I get a workable program or not. Many of my files are compiling to very small TZXs which load and run but do nothing at all (in those cases the compilation seems suspiciously fast).
As a test, I make a simple program like this:
If I compile with:
zxb.py test.bas -T -B -a
... then I get a working TZX.
But if I compile with:
zxb.py test.bas -T -B -a -Z
... I get a TZX that loads but does nothing.
If I make the file:
... then without -Z compilation fails, with -Z compilation succeeds but the program does nothing.
Is anyone else having similar issues? I'm using the Python-based version of 2077 (from the zip) with Python 2.7.1.
