Richard I am happy that it's working on the Mac, I made a shell script to launch BBCBasic and so far all the demos work.

opengl.bbc doesn't work, but that is to be expected as it makes platform-specific SYS calls (it doesn't work on Android either).

I've tried out BBCSDL2.0 v0.14a on Windows and Mac (both latest OS), not all the files, but those I have tried work perfectly. I'm pleased to see it working on the Mac because I bought a second hand Mac Mini, which I've upgraded. It will be good to be able to use BBC Basic on it.
First impressions about the IDEs:
Looks: I prefer yours.
Working: I prefer a light background and I couldn't immediately see if the colours could be changed on Andy's IDE.
I think I will play with both of them for a while, to see which I like best.

To be fair, there's no way to get a non-white background on my IDE (other than to edit the code)! The other syntax colours can be selected, but not the editor background.

Although it works fine here, a couple of people have reported that the Win32 edition crashes in bbcsdl.bbc as a result of this statement:
Code: SYS "SDL_SetWindowSize", @hwnd%, dlg%!8 DIV 2, dlg%!12 DIV 2
The reason for the crash isn't clear, but experimentally it seems that changing the window size using VDU 23,22 instead fixes the issue:
Code: VDU 23,22,dlg%!8 DIV 2;dlg%!12 DIV 2;8,16,16,128+8
I've uploaded a new version with that change:

As far as I am aware neither the Linux nor Mac OS version is affected, so I haven't replaced those.
Richard.
