Well, it's interesting, though a bit simplistic interface (having to reload / restart upon each expression). I see you used "fblite" dialect. A quick check shows that only fblite and qb support GOSUB, so I guess that's why. Interesting about the two (human) languages supported, though I don't know if there's a cleaner way than you did it (ad hoc). Cats/Kitten is supported in C, and there's an old (Turbo) Pascal version Cubs somewhere (Mateusz Viste). I don't know about FBC, though, perhaps nobody ever used such things there (but I've not checked). I'm surprised nobody screamed at you for attaching a file on this list, but hey, it's small, so who cares? Just beware purists. ;-) BTW, minor suggestion: have an option to use inches (instead of meters) and pounds (instead of kilograms). I know that's not urgent, but for some of us :-) it's hard to convert in our heads. (EDIT: Okay, I was basically right, 1 meter = 3.25 feet, aka 39 inches, and a kilogram is 2.2 pounds.) P.S. We have a fuller-featured tool for such things in FoxCalc, also written in FBC, if you want to take a look for tips: http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/dos/en/foxcalc.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
