VERY impressive. I like the executable part. And the key animation

Oops, sorry! link fixed.

Thanks alot. You've done a great job.

This project is retrieved from the bin today, fixed up to run on current PB and released in full with all dependencies included. Details are in the first post.

How does it handle something like a 13GB BlueRay ISO internally? Read-pointer, page-file etc..

[netmaestro]

It streams the data in and out, with both input and output files open simultaneously. The biggest file I've tested it on is 2.5 gig, which is large enough for a hobby project like this imho. I would have tested it on a larger file but I don't have anything larger. Back in 2010 when I originally wrote this I have a vague recollection of testing it on a 4.5 gig ISO and it worked all right.

Some years ago I adopted a policy of always sharing source code for projects released on the forums, for a couple of good reasons. One, coders on the forum including me are here to learn and pick up new skills in PureBasic. If people are releasing libraries and programs without source, the collaboration benefits to everyone are lost. Sharers benefit too by getting useful critique from other coders and learning to do things in a more polished or efficient way. Another great benefit, and this is the only reason I can post on this today, is the fact that posted sourcecode serves as a backup for when you need to restore destroyed files after a HD failure or such. I lost all of this project last year and if I couldn't draw the source from the forum I'd just have to start over. But it was here and the images were easy enough to find again on the free clipart sites and so I could update it to work with PB 5.50, which has no Ascii mode. So, in addition to the files linked above, here is the source for the forum (and for the next time I need to restore it):

I couldn't agree more. There are many examples of projects that have now become unusable... unless you use the correct (historical) version of PureBasic. Gnozal's work comes to mind.
