Lines: 18 About the MMG Basic Compiler...I haven't used it in several years (I use TurboBasic if anything anymore), but from what I recall, I had experienced some problems with it. *MOST* of the time compiled Basic programs worked just fine. It seems to me that I had a lot of trouble with programs that did extensive graphics though (lots of PLOT's and DRAWTO's)...the compiled version would either do nothing, or would draw the *wrong* stuff! Just wondering since the discussion came up, but is it just me, or was this a problem everyone had with it? In either case, for programs that did little graphics, or were all GRAPHICS 0, the MMG compiler worked like a charm. -Ray PS - Just picked up Dark Chambers and Crossbow today...thanx Atari for finally releasing 'em! Keep it up....I want more, MORE! :-) wilmott@topaz.rutgers.edu
