Decimal BASIC Lazarus edition Ver. 8.1.0.7  for Windows   2020/10/13

The default of character manupulation was changed from 0.6.5.0 or former.
If you assumes characters are bytes, you must add 
OPTION CHARACTER BYTE
on each program unit that manipulates character string. 
Note that this change is not applied when you uppdated the system by overwriting.
In that case, Modify the "Unit of string manipulation" at the Option Compatibily menu, behavior tab.
  
This application was compiled with FPC 3.0.4 + Lazarus 2.0.8

Few sample programs and help pages have been translated.

Note that Decimal BASIC ver. 7.8.5.4 is recommended for general purpose on Windows OS.
Aspects superior to the regular edition are that this edition handles UTF-8 characters and PNG or TIFF images.
