@Xman: congrats that you are trying to keep GB32 alive. I've registered now but can't promise to become active...
Hi Joshy,
I didn't know you came from GfaBasic... but it seems you haven't visited the GB32 site for a while: Last Online: Sep 13, 2010
My biggest project ever (>500k source) was written in the 16-bit Windows version of GfaBasic. Won't run without a VM nowadays, of course. I never touched GB32, though, because a) it seemed bloated and b) there was absolutely no chance to convert my 16-bit source to the new 32-bit syntax. Frank Ostrowski did a brilliant job, but afaik he had nothing to do with GB32. Remember the 261 character limit of Recall? ;-)

Re: Trying to contact D.J. Peters
hmm
look this
NOTE - Due to problems with third-party virus scanners version 2.6a omits the runtime GfaWin23.ocx version 2.39
, but comes with the previous version (2.38) of GfaWin23.ocx!

Re: Trying to contact D.J. Peters
my point is not in virus but in scanners
i must say that similar things i get when i tested some other Basic
compilers..interpreters on VirusTotal
It looks that VirusTotal scanners are BASIC NOT FRIENDLY
with lot of false positives (including FB compiled programs too)

Aurel,
I get loads of false positives all the time. Heuristic scanners expect C/C++ or Java-style executables, that's all.

It is not problem if you or me have falso on our computers then
when you or me or we ..want to publish our programs
it looks like a discrimination

Re: Trying to contact D.J. Peters
Aurel,
It is discrimination, certainly. Only big companies have the power to file a lawsuit against the AV providers. For hobby coders like us, the only option is creating confidence, and explaining what happens. I can post whatever I like on the Masm forum, simply because they have known me for ten years and trust me. Plus, we have a dedicated subforum - an interesting read maybe even for FreeBasic programmers.

Re: Trying to contact D.J. Peters
Perhaps another reason why these languages (should) dominate the industry? This is 100% a Windows thingy and my solution is to not have AV running all the time. Some AV scanners allow for manual mode only and I can use that to manually scan a file I downloaded that I have reason not to trust (which is rarely the case).jj2007 wrote:Aurel,

My solution, too, but so many people jump into your face when you confess doing that ;-)Munair wrote:my solution is to not have AV running all the time.

No AV here for the last 10 years, no malware either. My family are not allowed to touch this machine, for a reason.
