Still here in Lucid.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openoffice.org
  
  ReDim (and Dim) throw a run-time error if UpperBound = (LowerBound-1).
  For example
    Dim foo(0 to 9)
    ...
    ReDim foo(0 to -1)   'causes error
  
  This should not be an error, but should make the array contain zero elements.
  Note that arrays can be declared as empty with
     Dim foo()
  which has the save effect as ReDim foo(0 to -1) [except that it works...].
  
  However that form does not allow easy use in algorithms which compute
  array bounds at run-time and may validly want to result an empty array.
  
  DEMO: See attached file.
  
  For example
    sub RemoveLastElements(ary(), n)
       ReDim Preserve ary(LBound(ary) to UBound(ary)-n)
    end sub
  ... should work for for n up to and including the total number of elements, 
but instead you currently have to code it like this:
  
    sub RemoveLastElements(ary(), n)
       if UBound(ary)-LBound(ary) > n then
          ReDim Preserve ary(LBound(ary) to UBound(ary)-n)
       else
          ReDim ary()
       end if
  end sub
