Your program obviously hangs when gamestate is set to "0", but the snippet you posted provides too little information to say what's going wrong.

And maybe you should rethink the use of quotes as part of the headline name, because it makes the handling unnecessarily complicate.

Working on XP (as main OS) without any problems.

It's not quite clear to me: When you say "apostrophes", do you mean apostrophes (') or quotes (") ? To use quotes as a literal you have to print it as double quotes: Dim As String f = "saves\gamesave.txt", unitname = "myUnit", g Open f For Output As #1 Print #1, &q...

When using 'SETENVIRON(envStr)' with Linux, the 'envStr' string must be permanent (a literal, a variable declared in the main code or a static variable declared in a procedure), because Linux does not memorize the string but only a pointer to its data characters. Then what a...

In Windows it works.

I (personally) would rather say: "math is banana" <grin>

Maybe it's the fault of my teachers, but in the best case I consider mathematics as a necessary evil. Sorry for that.

And what about shell commands that don't produce any return string at all, but e.g. start another programme?

Please don't forget to mention darkinsanity who did the Linux stuff.

Alternatively you can translate the string into the OEM format (Windows only):

It's quite simple:
Have a look at the reference for further informations.

I apologise, it was not caused by your program, Windows automatically changes the view if searching for media files ("It's not a bug, it's a feature"). Thank you for that hint.

Correction: I used a corrupted .avi file for testing. Playing .avi files now works.

I'm not really sure, but maybe the program changed the "view" options of the searching function (F3) on my machine from "details" to "thumbnail".

Here (WinXP 32) only .mp3 works. No controls (pause, resume...) while playing.

Although I couldn't put more than a cursory glance on it, I must say you did an excellent job, and I agree with D.J.Peters that your EBook should become part of the FB download or at least been admitted into the "Documentation" download folder.
