This actually works with any cipher. It makes chain encryption (like CBC, GCM) much stronger. If it would happen to have the same 8 chars string and same key/IV you will always get a different output after encryption which will totally make hard (or impossible) any brute force attack or analysis [....

AES is also notoriously hard to get right (without major side channels) in software. It's a cipher designed for hardware, after all. It's very likely that this implementation here is vulnerable to these kinds of attacks.

You are far better of using a proper cryptography library, like CryptoAPI/CNG (if you're on Windows) or cryptlib or even OpenSSL (whose APIs are often bad and poorly documented, but it's quite ok to use for primitives). Also, if you have no training in cryptography I'd kindly suggest to use a librar...

Well maybe it has something to do with the console window being some kind of unusual window. For example it looks very odd on XP (somewhat thick title bar border), like message boxes emitted by kernel functions or drivers... maybe a normal user just doesn't have the security privilges to fiddle arou...

I would suggest using SetWindowLong() and GWL_STYLE / GWL_EXSTYLE...

I would suggest just to use a edit control with multiline capabilities activated and a typewriter font (e.g. Courier New).

I'm not sure if it's possible to take over a console window and move it into your window since they are (at least under XP) no "normal" windows. As I said, not sure ;)

Isn't that becoming kind of off-topic now? I think it would be a good start to create a small portal (maybe something similar to repository.freebasic.net?), where users can upload their bindings. A suitable format would be to upload them as a zip file, which holds both the header itself and the dyna...

I will see, if I still have this files. If yes, I'll reupload them...

Why should that be nice?
His code generates static code, that's not a problem - the "problem" is to write code which dynamically generates new code... which works ;)

$%#@ my server is down. (28398.org)
I will upload it somewhere else.

Sorry.
I will re-upload it immediatly.

Our libxml2 headers are very old (nearly 5 years - its from the 2.6.17 version, current ist 2.7.3 from January 2009...).
I currently don't have the time to update them, but it would nice-to-have for the next compiler version (if there is any new version of FBC planned...)

We in Germany have a very big Freebasic community...

Oh thanks I really forgot the Common Controls. Thx.

I've seen the new "Link" control in the resource editor (Its symbol is the blue, underlined "LNK"), but if I want to use it my Program crashes by initializing the dialog containing this control. So what do I need to initializie or what library I need to load before I can use this...
