    Hi Blitzers,

    Someone has told me that the commands replacement I wrote could be a =
good
start for a Blitz Independant project. That's my goal. Propose a set of
maximum usable/optimized functions for any use. All the sources are fully=

and freely availables. For now they are written for the Blitz2 but I thin=
k
they could be reused like that for a new langage... We just need a linker=
 ;-)

    Asm pros, I'm witing you...

        For now,

            Fred  =

I'm afraid not -- as you say, Blitz is now aimed solely at games
development. This stuff *may* come in Blitz Basic Pro, sometime next year,
but that's not at all certain.

Afraid not...

for PC MSWindows?

Again, no, but there are lots of requests for this -- my guess is that this
would come in Blitz Pro (eventually).

In the meantime, if you just want to do Windows GUI stuff, try PureBasic
(www.purebasic.com) -- it's a very good clone of AmiBlitz, and has all those
features (but Blitz Basic kicks its behind when it comes to games of course


See ya,

(Fred) I hope it will continue like this, with more and more mature and fun to use language... Wait'n'see
