Re: DLLs

Interesting, and of course screensaver.f has been an essential element of
what I've been doing so far, but couldn't help wondering about using
DefScreenSaverProc as an alternative. Lately I've been wondering about
leaving out a user timer. As it is I do the OpenGL (with motion) under
WM_PAINT in a BEGIN/AGAIN loop which contains PAUSE. With the current state
of my W98 any screensaver is liable to lock up the system (even a blanker
made from the bare screensaver.f) and any of the ones W98 comes with for
starters. My own toy is not too badly behaved.

Adding SWOOP was great. So when is the Linux version of SF coming out? :)

There is, BTW, a guy who does his Window$ programming in straight
assembler: see

(see interpolations below as well)

That's sort of like what I tell people when I'm doing ForthProp. My
16-yr-old is wrIting boot floppies in asm, building a Lego robot with the
Forth it comes with, and planning to write a system based on ColorForth.
