Re: esxDOS v0.8.9 released

There is a regression in esxDOS 0.8.9 that causes the machine to hang if you enter invalid syntax in SE BASIC. As it's closed source, I have no way to fix this. Did something change in the error handling code? I only became aware of the problem because ZX-Uno and ZXTRES users insist on using the latest version of esxDOS. Is there a compelling reason not to stick with 0.8.5?
