I always get some sort of EXE when I compile.... DR> Did you get my previous message? Ahh... I don't think I saw one, David. DR> I think what the problem is that if you do NOT change the > "factory set" switch then all your compiles will be to MEMORY and > not to an EXE file. As you may know - I have developed my own IDE. I use PBC to compile and the command tail *does* specify an EXE file. But, none is showing up. Honestly, I have been working on an archive maintenence and archive access program set, I have also been fixing some bugs and generally improving my IDE. I haven't had time to go back and look more closely at PBSWAP. I have it unpacked, and I will return to play with it some more when I get the time. thanks --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Madman BBS * Chico, California * 916-893-8079 * (1:119/88) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 214 POWER BASIC Ref: DF400001 Date: 11/02/96 From: TIM HUTZLER Time: 01:57pm \/To: FRANK COX (Read 4 times) Subj: Re: 2 viewer code TH> What does this do?

JPG files are so much smaller than anything else I have seen. It makes embedding image files in databases practical.
