I spent hours making those flow charts. Good times.
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
A healthy dose of nostalgia does you good. I recommend two spoonfuls per day!

The program runs absolutely fine, but the following file is added to the system, and not removed after closing the app:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\inpout32.sys
Also a number of registry keys under
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\inpout32\
and
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\inpout32\
referring to this file are not removed.
The following keys are also left behind:
HKU\S-1-5-21-1606980848-884357618-1644491937-1004\Software\BASIC-256 Consortium\BASIC-256 IDE\Main\Size: "@Size(691 537)"

Thought you might want to know this.

Is this app still alive?

Apparently as dead as a Dodo... A pity.

I am currently the maintainer of the main trunk of this appliction and just released a Development Test. The full portable app should be ready to go soon, but the test is working much better than that previous attempt.
