Nope, nothing to do with pointers. I had to write some asm routines in c (quick functions) and change some of the functions that were called from dos to win32. that's about it.

Tyler, Thank you for taking a crack at this. Did you find you had to do anything with pointers?

I threw nfbtrans.exe into the edsharp directory under nfbtrans and off it went. Converted perfectly. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10204868/NFBTR774.7z There is the link for the new archive. I included the new executable, as well as the sln and vcproj files that visual studio will need to build the single nfbtrans.c.

Do I just need to dump this in my edsharp directory to test? will someone send me a .brf file that I can try this out with to see if it does, indeed work? There were some asm functions (which were declared in the asm file), called sound, nosound and delay. I wasn't really sure what those did, so I just wrote c replacements. sound plays the beep (at a duration of 250 ms), nosound toggles a flag that is checked for beeps, and delay just calls sleep. I have a ton of warnings, but I'm aiming for this to just work on a 64-bit system.

There aren't to many issues I don't think so far, except the fact that a lot of the function calls (utime etc) are no longer in windows. I'm yanking the code with older functions and writing drop-in replacements to do exactly (hopefully) what the old functions do, so hopefully it will work with minimal modifications. I'll post later with progress and/or a working copy sometime this week.-- Take care, Ty my website: http://tds-solutions.net my blog: http://tds-solutions.net/blog skype: st8amnd127 My programs don't have bugs; they're randomly added features! __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
