Probably cos I use:
if OPSYS=WIN32 then BPP16IS15=1 end if
since I only have problems with this under Windows (DDraw).
You seem to have the opposite problem (things get messed up under DOS) so
you should use:
if OPSYS=DOS32 then BPP16IS15 end if



>"Kinda" = it worked but the colors were messed up
See above.

If a program won't run in Windows fullscreen mode (like on some puters
running Win NT), use windowed mode instead (WindowType(STANDARD)).



>"maybe" = it ran but the sound didn't play

The DOS version is mute. This is stated in the ReadMe.

Hmm.. Dunno about this. Some of the programs (mainly bitmap.ex(w) and
tunnel.ex(w) will do a lot of thinking before they display anything).
What kinda computer do you have ?

Do you mean bound as in "bind proggy" or as in "ec(w) proggy" ?
I belive I described how to translate Jarod programs using the Eu2C
translator (ofcourse, you'll have to compile one version for each OS).
The biggest problem is the huge sequences of machine codes that are
included. Because of these sequences, compiling a Jarod program probably
will be a lifetime project..
But!.. the next version of Jarod (estimated to be released next week
sometime) will have all the machine codes in external files wich is loaded
at execution-time, reducing compilation-time greatly (hopefully).
