Hi
So, what does this mean?
Translating code, pass: 1 idealator.exw:58 <0294>:: 'pixel' is not supported in this platform <end-of-file> ^
It appears with quite a few programs during compilation, always on pass 1, not always associated with win32, not always associated with DOS programs and always pointing to the last line of the file.
Basically, the interpreter ignores a call to pixel, but the translator throws an error when encountered. It should more probably be a NOP, and issue a warning. The routine itself never gets called, but the translator sees it and realizes that it was DOS only, thus throwing an error. We need to fix that, obviously, and possibly update the 3.1 std library to remove DOS-only stuff as well.
