Hi!
Does DBC require DX7 or 8?
When I build an executable, the save dialog shows that DX7 is required to run the app. On the website I see DX8.
I've got DBC 1.13 Enhanced (DarkMatter).

Sorry for my bad English, I'm a native German-speaker.

I always thought it was DX7. Perhaps you need DX8 for the expansion pack.
Anyone know for sure?

The original release of DarkBASIC needed DX7 - the 1.13 upgrade (and any version we've sold in the past few years) needs DX8.1

Cheers,
