I remember a program to do this in the codebase, but now I can't find it. How can I get a user-defined password to appear as ****** on the screen?

You just change what the user sees... it's not really encryption. This puts the user input in Pass$ then makes Out$ a string of the same size as Pass$ with *'s instead. It prints both to show you it works.

It doesn't work with my version of DB, because it isn't the enhanced version of DB, it's DB v1.13. Have you written the code for DBPro? If you have, this is the wrong forum.

I wrote it in Pro and tested it in Classic before I posted (I always test the code in Classic when i'm in the Classic forum). It worked fine for me in both Pro and Classic and I have the enhanced version of Classic. That should work in non-enhanced versions too.

I was using version 1.12 but looked for the update and downloaded it. Using the same exact version you use that code still works for me. I even tried it out in both the old editor and DarkEdit... still works.

In fact Classic works better than Pro because of the bug using the backspace key. Does the code give you an error? If it does can you post a screenshot of the error? Tis very odd.

In that case, shouldn't Sonic 91 get the 1.13 update like everybody else?
