No problem, provided that you in future, keep your "Libraries code" out of all threads,
that are not your own ... because that's become very, very annoying!

Well then, that seems to confirm the issue being related to: high DPI settings ...

You may want to become a "Programmer" and, not just stay put as "Library Linker".

Try 100% (M$'s recommendations are quite useless sometimes) because:
you can, at any later stage change back, if you don't like what you see ...

<edit/>

Seems to me, to be a "high DPI" issue, rather than a bug.
Check Windows settings ... (if NOT set to: 100%)

Never had it in 1920 x 1080 (100%), but with 3200 x 1800 display.
(setting here, is 150%)

However, I've found whatever it does can be unreliable on some machines, and fail to return anything. Well, the first thing I'd investigate, whould be: "are my assuptions" regarding the way, the agent is "expected" to react, correct? (may not be the case) Before that, I'd not ev...

@gothon, your criticism below, in point 3) has the facts 'the wrong way around' , because: C's 'int' = FB's 'Long' (both 32 bit, fixed size) and, C's 'long' = FB's 'Integer' (both dynamic sizing, aka: Ptr size), exception is: WIN64 (API) See also: (data-type) comparison table, in the FB-Manual

You'll just have to realize, that it in fact does, nothing to be fixed, therefore.

Btw. the max. value of ULongInt = 2 ^ 64 - 1 or,
ULongInt = &hFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

if a do 512 loops of Int( RND * 256 ) it should chose each of 256 values , at least once.. No, this now relates to the randomizers randomness, meaning, you cannot know when a certain number appears. The only guaranteed fact is, that it eventually will appear ... provided, you run the randomizer for...

Nope, not true and, counting_pine's code proofes that ... Rnd gives values between 0.000....... and 0.99999999......... (but never reaching 1.0), which is denoted by inteval [0, 1). The lowest generated value is greater than 9 digits... This has no relation to the value, that's returned. (because yo...

... modified to return the lowest value randomly selected. Sorry mate, but the fault is in your code: const N = (2^64)ull ' we want ULongInt here const q0 = 0ull, q1 = N/4ull, q2 = N/2ull, q3 = N*3/4ull, q4 = N dim as integer r1, r2, r3, r4 ' don't use signed "integer" type (above is unsi...

@albert, Draw String is, by default "graphics screen" and NOT console ... I need to get all 256 DOS chars to display in a Windows "EDIT Control" What doesn't exist can't be used, it's as simple as that. IIRC, we've had that discussion already some time ago and, nothing has change...
