I just tried the bug report source code at http://www.freepascal.org/bugs/showsource.php3?ID=4538 And I did not get an access violation or any errors.
Which proves that it depends on your random luck on a random day ;) http://z505.com/images/BrokenDLLisWorking.png Unrelated note: The PNG I took was 26KB - a JPEG was 89KB and lower quality. Interesting. http://z505.com/images/BrokenDLLisWorking.jpg In cases where lots of similar colors are in the picture (such as lots of black or lots of white) it appears PNG's are superior. In other cases, JPEGs are smaller and seem to be more efficient. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
