Nice work. Has great potential.

@rsts, could you dl the updated source from the post and try again? @dell_jockey, the font is set to 'fixedsys'
but if that isn't available to you, I think you get what MS thinks is the nearest matching font?

No it won't think at all, it will use the system default font. Here at my XP it is Times New Roman...
Neat code! You are genius!

Works now.
Any idea why I had a problem with the other version?
cheers

@rsts, great! The problem was due to me, some last minute stupid search & replace probably. Sorry

no apology necessary - just keep sharing code

did you (or has anyone) convert this to PB4?
Seems there are a few too many errors for me to correct.
No big deal if you haven't, but if you have and would care to share, I'd be greatful
cheers

I've converted it to PB4 (a slightly less fancy, but more powerful version) I'm not done yet, but will PM it to you if you can wait while I finish the rest of it.

Many thanks. Very kind of you.
I've worked through a rudimentary "conversion" to the point where it at least appears to work. Just brute force from PB4 "changes" document, nothing more.
It seems it will be good enough to meet my needs (primarily educational/informative - it's quite beautiful code)
By happy to send that your way, if you wish.
cheers

Thanks, rsts!
If you care to send it I could try to fix what's left to fix (if anything) and repost it above.
The new version is a rewrite from the start, and is going to be a sligthly different program, otherwise
I would have posted the new code here.

Ok, I translated the original code, but two third-party code sequences doesn't work yet, stream load/save
and the find/replace code.
I've uncommented the first and replaced it with rewritten code, and will rewrite the latter too, later unless
the original authors translates it to 4.0 and posts.
Only thing is, I get an 'Internal Server Error' when I try to post the translated code.

Don't know if you noticed but I PM'ed you with a link to the version I had translated.
If you want to host a zip of the code there, I can arrange for it.
cheers

Thanks for the post.
No problem about "hosting" it - the link I pm'ed you was private for you only, I'll delete it now
cheers
