Scott, I wouldn't dare comparing the environments... Both have their purpose and place... They are different products despite being the same...
I think that to use inline ASM in rev you need to do so in a c compiler and wrappit up in an external ;) cheers Xavier > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Kane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, 17 December, 2005 11:00 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'How to use Revolution' > Subject: RE: [ANN] Renumbering Images with new IDs > > Hi Xavier, > > Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a "Delphi vs. Rev" argument. > <g>. > There are things that Rev can do that Delphi can't.
