Are you using any external libraries? If you are coding this in pure FB with no external libraries or inline asm, then you should be able to compile with 64bit FB without having to make any major changes

Haven't done anything with this in years and it's a bit of a mess, but at one time this was a working Lua interpreter with access to many of FB's functions:

thanks Zippy, that was just what I needed

does anyone know if there is a way to use FB to access the windows run command - win+r ? I'm trying to set up something to activate my virus scanner. Although you can do this with the "run" or "shell" FB commands, these work with the windows command shell and you need to either h...

If you want to use an array as a parameter, you need to tell that to the to the procedure:

Declare Sub Get_Location( (1 to 4) As UInt )

Sub Get_Location ( box (1 to 4) As UInt)

Does anyone know anything about xmp sidecar files? I've done a number of searches, but all I can find is stuff about programs that use them, but nothing about the structure of the files themselves. Basically, what I'm looking to do is take a plain text file that has a list of tags for an image and g...
