Quick run down of the LGPL and GPL: AAAAASSSBSSAAAA Imagine that the A's are written by you, S is somebody else's code you copied in, and B is a modification you made to S. And you plan to distribute this work. If S is GPL-licensed, you have to provide the source code to all of A and B under the GPL...

Must be a problem with Windows or gfxlib's Windows driver. I can't reproduce it on Linux.

etko : The extra operation is the "a% = 1" Antoni got it right. Is zero greater than zero? No. So it skips the "a% = 1" Is zero greater than or equal to zero? Yes. So the "a% = 1" get executed, slowing down that test. Try this, people: ' Make sure (i% > j%) and (i >= j...

It doesn't seem to be downloading. mira.home.line1.ru resolves to 83.171.64.6, but I can't connect ( it times out) :(

EDIT: Ooops, looks like jofers beat me to the punch. 1) option explicit forces you to DIM your variables. DIM myVariable = 123 PRINT myVariableOoopsTypo The above code compiles fine without option explicit - but you might not realize there's a typo until you see that it prints zero instead of 123. W...
