Hi people,

Need help.

RB 5.5.5, Linux, compiling my Encoding Master. The results are this:

1) Because I use DecodeQuotedPrintable and DecodeBase64, RB starts
up with failed assertion errors :( that it can't find those two
functions.

What to do?

Either upgrade, downgrade (I believe 5.5.4 didn't have the issue, but
I could be mistaken), or write your own implementation.

OK. Shame really. I may just write my own version.

You realise that it's no fun that I must pay hundreds of pounds to get bug fixes? This is the sort of thing that means I don't use REALbasic for anything bigger than a certain size of project. Don't get me wrong, REALbasic is perfect for small to medium sized projects... I've just passed REALbasic up in the past for large projects.

And actually even on medium sized projects, it's a stretch. The bugs start to wear thin at that point.

Do I need to make my interface look bloated and clunky on OSX to
make it look OK on Linux? Will bevelbuttons look better on Linux?
Should I just say "well if you want something done properly, you
need to do it yourself", and make canvas based buttons?

You can always tweak the interface in code.

3) A window that I am calling .ShowModal on, shows BEHIND the other
windows??? This one is driving me mad. It works fine on MacOSX.

Sounds like a bug.

Any ideas of a work around?
