Just been looking through the dlls, and was surprised to see that there are commands there that were taken out of dbpro, and commands I hadn't even heard of.

make memblock from array
make array from memblock
free string
load icon
image width()
image height()
set eax
emulation mode()
set emulation on
set emulation off
make static object

Explain?

Probably commands that are unfinished or not bug-free.


Remember, Jimmy still loves you.

You know how the debuggers hate fixing bugs? Well....

The set emulation commands aren't meant to be in DBPro, or at least I think so. They were in DBC. Also static objects were only in DBC.

Yeah they could, I wonder what they are doing in the DLLs, I mean, DBC never used them.

Software emulated 3d, instead of hardware accelerated 3d.

IIRC they're in there for compatability with old db code. Didn't work did it

Get 15 new commands, all the date / time commands left out of DBPro for free!
