Thrawn dude, that is absolutely wonderfull.

I have a question: How do you load pngs as a resource, rather then as a filename please?

Cheers and many thanks,
Clyde.

Just looked at your code and I have to point this out:

You have a horrible memory leak in the code and in the examples in the document.

The memory leak in the library source is in the PLoad function. You allocate and read the file into a memory buffer, but you don't deallocate said buffer after passing it off the the MPLoad function.

The leak in the examples in the document are that you never destroy/deallocate the image buffers (you do however in the example file).

Also, it's spelled license.

Just thought you should be made aware of these things.

Now if someone could write up an example of how to use this with a dc, everything would be snazzy. :D

A DC is a Device Context. It's a windows thing.

Hi. Been away for a while :)
Sorry, the memory leak in the library is my fault, when I worked on PLoad I set it to use pointers and Allocate instead of arrays, but forgot to add a Deallocate. Thanks very much for finding it and pointing it out.

Here's the latest version of PLoad.
Apart from minor fixes and corrections, PLoad is now fully compatible with the latest versions of FreeBASIC. It also now features some support for paletted screen modes. See the readme for more information.

Great! It still doesn't work for me because of that damn LOF bug, but at least it now gives me PLOAD_FILE_LOAD_ERROR instead of PLOAD_MISCERROR :)
