Rewriting The Bat! on a cross-platform language like .NET or C++ would have probably solved the issue, but this is not that easy. The Bat! currently has about 1.5 million lines of code, or 40MB, of which about 8MB are third-party libraries and 32MB is the text written by Ritlabs. Those who does or did computer programming knows that to write 1.5 million lines of code is not that easy, and besides writing there is planning and debugging, and the debugging usually takes more time than the writing. -- Best regards, Maxim mailto:[email protected] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.0.153 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
