ECMA-116 isn't standard

Hi Tom.

I'm not aware of anyone doing development work/enhancements currently.

I just maintain it when people submit modifications.

I also sometimes create new targets (makefiles), given that the code is C90-compliant.

I don't actually use it myself.

The ECMA-116 choice doesn't follow the standard for strings. It uses MID$ to get characters. The standard uses an substring notation so that to print characters 2 through 4 , you'd do this:
A$="THIS IS A TEST"
PRINT A$(2:4)

HIS

Also, the MAT statements are missing. Are there any plans to increase compatibility?
