How's it going on the website front? That would be a very very useful addition this time around. News on this forum is getting a little disorganised. If you use a good CMS like e107, you can have a decent looking design and keep everything posted, and later on still keep the same CMS and have all the features you need. I'm willing to do the site if nobody is working on it.

I would recommend that the downloads part of the new site be gotten up and running as soon as possible.

I know that barok, in fact I've already argued about that point. Which is why I offered to do it..

For now the site will use Sourceforge's services for msg board, download control and such.. I will develop a full version later, coz i'm currently getting the last runtime lib routines to work, so the first release can be done..
Functions to be written yet:
INPUT
INPUT #
LOCK
UNLOCK
RANDOM file mode (PUT & GET for UDT's, seeking every LEN)
PRINT USING
I guess i will put the first version online w/o PRINT USING, it's so damn clumsy that i will let it to be implemented by someone else with enough patience to "emulate" all the crap needed.

Might want to check out Powerbasics "USING" function, which works very similiarly to PRINT USING but creates a formatted string instead of printing it to screen.

It's not like PRINT USING is the most commonly used function. I'm sure everybody will understand if you modify it...it could definately use some efficiency.

INPUT$()
The function...
OPEN "file" FOR BINARY AS #1
t$ = INPUT$(#1, 10) 'read 10 bytes from file
CLOSE #1
I like it, and use it a lot.. easier then GET/PUT, IMO..

Where is the sourceforge website? All I have for FreeBasic doesn't seem to be the same project...at least the description don't quite seem to fit (
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/freebasic/ ) is that it? or is there another?

input$ was already implemented, input [#] is going to be coded today, then random access file mode then.. PRINT USING for someone else.. i won't code it.
There's a "freebasic" on source forge, another dead project, i will ask to take over the name when i put fbc online (it's FBC the unix name at sf.net, nothing there yet).
