Was wondering if anyone would notice these


599 - see FBHelp 'begin enum' and look for the 'output' and 'not output' options. Generates C source using the constants coded in your FB source. 

600 - helpful with non-project single-source compiles that need Objective-C. Bernie’s baby. He could undoubtedly tell you more.

601 - alternative syntax for FB’s 'select case'. Essentially generates C switch statements instead of the difficult to read nest if statements. Mostly a benefit for those working in the generated C code. See FBHelp for Select Case.

603 - was discussed in earlier posts. This is official implementation of that discussion.
