I have no news from him since he sent me its book. I think I have lost its email in my annual email bleedings. > > Fact is Gambas needs more documentation to lure users. I agree.

Maybe this is the main reason of your problems. I admit I don't document my code a lot, but I don't obfuscate it at all. If you choose good symbol names, and if you do logical things, your code is usually almost explain itself. I will try to comment the interpreter better now I know that somebody tries to understand it. And I will answer your questions too. But you should first really learn the C language and get some information about compilers and interpreters. > > And Windows version would be nice too :-) > I won't do it.
