BV> Oh! Did I mention that I also have a full-blown text editor ?
BL> Bloody hell. That's convenient.

I thought so too :)

BL> The only bit missing is the MKS$ converter for the ndx files.
BV> You could always tell Frank it is a new Keno algorithm :)
BL> ROFL! It might just work... but he's pretty smart.

I reckon you could sucker him in.

Hmmm...I got the "junk fax" for Delphi this weekend. Delphi is the
Turbo Pascal equivalent of VB and it is supposed to be a ball-tearer.
It claims to have all the nice parts of VB and it compiles to
native code which screams. It could be worth a look, especially as
some of the fastest and smoothest Windoze programs I have seen have
turned out to be Turbo-Pascal creations. Delphi will initially have
an RRP of $350 for the CD version. Upgrades from TP will RRP at $280

There aint much margin in anything nowadays but the dealer price
will shave a few bucks off, if anyone is interested. Hey Frank, how
many TP disks do you have ? The RRP will increase in 90 days to be $795

BL> I haven't looked at using DLLs yet, but I suspect that this will let
BL> it do any bloody thing at all, if I ever get around to it.

It isn't hard at all. All you need to do is to prototype the Function in
the declaration section of GLOBAL.BAS, then you can call it just like any
other function.
