"Low level binary data processing" means for me for example to invert

LC is a perfect tool, for me also plays the role of a GUI when seeking for
speed. Javascript/HTML5 does a lot of low level binary data processing up to
100 times faster than LC Script (and no js-package needed for that).
To use javascript/HTML5 is not "bypassing" the LC language" but *extending*

a) Did you already check to have the same paintcompression in both environments?
b) If you make such large images (why?) you may get a conflict with the

Bugs fixed (among others):
Lock cursor works again ...
Layering is correct again ...
The formattedRect works now also for 16 bit coords ...
Thank you very much LC-team, especially for that!

Then you mean -(01:00:00) and not (-01):(00):(00), quite different.
AFAIK most languages do such time evaluations as follows
1) compute the time in seconds,
2) convert its absolute value to time format, and
3) if negative,
TMHO, this could be a feature request rather than a bug report.
The zeros in the number format determine the num of characters
and "-" is one.
Also we have -0 = 0. So what about "-01:-00:-00" ??
