I hope what I add here is worth something!
I have found that compatability is more an issue that load time/speed.
take my Installer for example there are several thing that it does before
a window is even created. Checking DLL versions, space available,
mem available, what O/S are we running on, pre-loading graphics and
countless other things that need to be considered but on my old 233mhz
machine even with all of this stuff having to be completed before you see
anything on the screen, the program IS seen almost instantly.
I stuck some of WOLF's timer code in Linkdll.e but commented this out
maybe I'll set this up again to show how fast the program loads..for you
speed freaks out there.
If Im not mistaken Derek has done a fine job of tweaking the next generation
Win32lib for load speed....I havent seen a Euphoria program that didnt load
fairly quick. Even Mics outragous palette manipulating animated thingamajigs
load fast as hell (alot of code and math required for these).
