Vectrex Basic (VexOS Basic) Beta2 running

Hi,

Just letting you know that i now have all the bare essentials of Vexos Basic working.
Vexos Basic is a basic compiler for the Vectrex Arcade system, and is one of the largest components of the upcoming VexOS Operating system.

The Vexos Basic compiler (along with the VexOS operating system) has been a huge burden for me the last months, so i'm happy that i at least have one less thing to worry about now.

Now that all the bare essentials are in place, i'll be sending the compiler off to a few people for testing and/or toying around.
It also allows me to focus on getting the other remaining components of the VexOS in place. Most stuff currently works, but i'm still having a few problems with chipmusic (YM) playback, as well as some interface tweaking.

I'm also working on a bit of content (animations, basic examples, music, etc.) to be released with the initial public release of VexOS. If there is anyone else out there willing to submit content, let me know!
