At work we de-magnetise our screwdrivers by banging them several times onto hard surface. Might not be good for your monitor though!

A TV repair technician should be able to fix the problem with a de-magnetiser (which sends out random magnetic waves).

The Author of BlitzMax (Mark Sibly) as requested that we do not distribute *.exe files compiled using beta versions of BlitzMax.

As soon as the Win32 version is done I'll post a link to the exe.

Metric here as well. As PB says, easier to work with.

Compare

What is (25cm + 72cm) / 16cm?

with

What is (2' 3" + 5' 9") / 2' 1" ?

Thankyou Num,

After looking around and reading up on some other advice I'll get a copy of Nero Burning Rom. This seems to be the easier solution for putting track lists together and burning to CDR.

*.wav format it is then.

This is how Blitz does it:

Code: Select all

Procedure Test(name$,x,y,color=0)
Here, the color parameter is set to 0 by default unless the programmer decides to pass an alternative value:

Code: Select all

Test "poo",10,20 ; color parameter is 0

Code: Select all

Test "poo",10,20,1234 ; the color parameter is 1234
