Thank you Ken!
Staz asked me to collect the functions for the next release and you
have already done the job. Great!
Two minor notes:
- I've not yet looked at the compilation that I've just snipped for
this reply, but I think that for each function we should provide a
version in pure Standard BASIC. I believe it will avoid the problems
with exotic languages such as japanese and will maintain a greater
compatibility with other BASICs. However, Personally, I would love
to have also an Assembly version (68K and PPC), after all this is a
feature provided by FB^3 which allows serious programmers to
optimize their apps. Unfortunately, I can't write nor read Assembly.

- I would probably make all the functions in LOCAL MODE. I'm used to
do that with all my contributions for the CD thinking it could
address in advance the problems that beginners might encounter.


Thanks again.
