Some changes in time handling, minor bugfixes, and few eval changes doesnt seem like a major change to me. Since Anthony hasnt been much of a version number guy lately, we can just call it Zappa Xtreme. :lol:
I meant exactly what i said Tony, 4mb. And using a different compiler can result in quite different play. And i never said a "major" change, i said a "significant" change, significant enough for a different version number, in my opinion.

Dave, i dont understand. The 32 bit exe for the original version is 1.17MB in size. For the new version, the exe is 1.21MB Where are you coming up with a 4MB difference? Im lost here.

I didnt notice that he used the small letter 'm' which doesnt really stand for Mega, but milli instead. I still dont understand it though, to me that would be 4/1000 bytes. May be he is refering to something else, he is a programmer after all. Also, he could be from one of those countries that use a period for a comma and comma for a period when it comes to numbers.

I dont know about all that, but answer my question please. Is your original exe 1.17MB and your update 1.21MB. BTW, you live in Georgia, I live in Louisiana and Dave lives between us.

Tony, i just got off the phone with Dave. He said he is tired, it's been a long day, and he just made a mistake when he said 4mb. He must be human like you and me. :D
