1. Centering a Window
How would I center this on the user's screen?
constant Window_Install = createEx( Window, "Forms On-A-Disk AutoInstall",
0, Default, Default, 450, 250, 0, 0 )

sequence ScreenSize
ScreenSize = getCtlSize(Screen)
constant
ScreenWidth = ScreenSize[1],
ScreenHeight = ScreenSize[2],
Window_Install =
createEx(Window,"Parcheesi",0,ScreenWidth/2-225,(ScreenHeight/2-125,450,250,0,0)

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll
have to ram them down people's throats.

Oops. Obviously the window caption should have been "Forms On-A-Disk
AutoInstall" and that ( in the middle shouldn't be there. :-[

As long as the width and length are even numbers you can do this ...
constant Window_Install = createEx( Window, "Forms On-A-Disk AutoInstall",
0,
{1,-wid}/2, {1,-hgt}/2, wid, hgt, 0, 0 )
If either are odd numbers you can do this ...
constant Window_Install = createEx( Window, "Forms On-A-Disk AutoInstall",
0,
{0.5,floor(-wid/2)}, {0.5,floor(-hgt/2)}, wid, hgt, 0, 0 )

CK has over 4000 lines of code to work with "that I wrote for him".
If he cant figure it out then he really should ask me....
Im stuck on registry and ntfs code because Its rather hard.
I am learning that the users of 2k, NT4, and XP + mainly the pro
editions require the user to be logged on as administrators.
and this posses some issues.
