Hi, Jean Thanks for making available the Mandelbrot Dazibao, it was a fantastic resource! A finding of mine: Marc Jaouen has set up a new site, not much in it yet, just a video about fractals and an e-mail address for contact. http://mandelbrot-dazibao.com/ I wished to try your mandelbrot viewer but...

I was in contact with Jark years ago when he was developing his Qbasic raytracer. The developement became an obsession for him (he worked on him while commuting and at lunch time), at the point he needed a long vacation after it. I guess he's not willing to repeat the experience. Jark is a musician ...

A year ago FreeBASIC was listed at this Linux benchmark site http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/
amongst the fastest. Yetifoot and I had fun submitting some sources for the benchmarks.
I don't know why they have dropped FB, perhaps because of the lack of new releases?

Perhaps there's a #define somewhere...

Hi, Victor, nice to see you again at the command! I have tried the SVN version with gcc 3.4.5 with some prime sieve using a bit array .To me it did a code marginally slower an bigger than the version using GAS, i think it's not an important result as I guess my version of gcc is not updated tuned an...

Your old QB program should "almost" work with the addition of #lang "qb" at the start , if it was'nt for an old design flaw in FB . The fixed lenght strings in UDT's loose their last char, as FB stubbornly uses it as an end of string marker and erases it . So the only way to read...

Merry Christmas from Spain!

Classic PB?

Perhaps it's their famous ultra-fast compiler outputting Win32 code but coded in 16 bits assembler. Not sure it will work everywhere nowadays....

The present version is full 32 bits and should be safer.

Not an expert, but as the Hardware subforum has several threads on communicating with parallel port, I guess what you want to do is possible in FB.

Microsoft will publish soon a new version of .net library that will fill the gap....

FBEdit uses extensively the Windows API for its user interface so I guess a Linux version would require redoing the program from scratch.
Too bad, I'm planning to become a Linux user too...

lang qb was made closer to qb with SINGLE type and pass by reference as default, this dialect can break old FB code easily the natural dialect to recompile a program made in the old versions of FB is lang -fblite. It's the dialect for lazy coding too. and finally lang -fb is for classes and big prog...

Ok, here it is http://antonigual.phatcode.net/fbsources/fbwinprint.zip -Corrected bug with PrintBox color - Changed PageWidth and PageHeight properties to use the printable size of the sheet - Addded scaling to Pprint,PrintBox, PrinBMP and PrintWindow to make them printer independent. Now coordinate...

Thanks, Vince, it worked! Any hint about why it prints with red text but draws a blue box, while the color value passed is red for both? EDITED: Nevermind, I found it : setFont is reversing the color number to the windows format while drawbox is not. I'm afraid it's a bug. EDIT2: I suggest to change...

Is this the inteded output of the example?

I guess the screenshots are too small and should mot overlap anything. Trying to print to a pdf using Acrobat 6.0 distiller drivers...
Could anyone suggest a solution?
