As far as I know, it's only PUT that has alpha transparency.

Here's the equivalent FB code: '$include: 'crt.bi' sub make_array_slice (source(), byval start_index, byval length_of_slice, result()) if start_index < lbound(source) then exit do if start_index + length_of_slice - 1 > ubound(source) then exit do redim result(0 to length_of_slice - 1) memcpy varptr(...

Woo hoo, long live array initializers, death to DATA statements!

Well, maybe WEND would be more consistant as "END WHILE". Or maybe if "END IF" were changed to "IEND". But I think they should be left the way they are for compatibility with qbasic.

Maybe like this? array1(2 TO 5) = array2(100 TO 103) ' copy part of array By forcing the programmer to be explicit about what and how much is being copied where, the compiler doesn't have to worry about different dimmensions etc. Maybe it would be simple enough to implement if that syntax was invali...

There are headers for FMOD, and it can play MP3s.

Hmmm, FB 0.13 gives this: 1 C 67 2 i 105 3 a 97 4 o 111 5 0 6 0 7 0 8 0 9 0 10 0 ...so it looks like 0.13 is respecting chr$(0) as a terminator.

I just tried that code you gave, and it seemed to work.

I'm a Gentoo user, and I thought so at first. So I tried out different CFLAGS with gcc 3.4.3 compiling libfb and libfbgfx, and the best I could get was about a 3-8% speedup over the official binary. Oh well.

Hmmm. No segfaults. Is there anything more I could do to provoke it?

I think there are ways to set up Windows to limit what a hostile user can do (including Ctrl+Alt+Del), the way they do at most public schools and libraries.... but beyond that, I imagine MS wouldn't want to make that too easy to do programmatically - malware writers would abuse it.

Your English is fine.

Thanks a lot, this is great! So far it seems to be working perfectly.

I've got Gentoo Linux and GDB.

Where do I add those to make it SEGF?

Sorry about not responding before, my broadband was down for 2 days - I just noticed this topic.

Any screenshots?

From the user's perspective, very very little difference. Because on Linux, wx is just a wrapper around GTK. wx-c Linux programs will be bulkier and maybe slightly slower, but they'll look and act exactly the same.
