Is This A Joke?

Windows mode is in 32 bit color depth if you have set that in your display properties (compared with 16 bit full screen). That's why it looks "better".

[Mr.Frag]

Much simpler to edit the font in the exe instead of screwing up your system fonts. Of course it it unsupported, but you and a hex editor could get friendly [;)]

[Rainer]

Edit the font in the exe ?!
HEX Editor ??!!

Evil work! Shame on you! That is only done by bad men who smoke cigarettes, drink beer out of the bottle (sorry my friends down under) and program in Assembler and even use Go To statements!
No! Not me!
I'll wait until I get rich and buy me a real large monitor, or I wait for the patch.
Whichever is sooner [:D]

Darling, will you please bring me a fresh beer, and empty my ash tray? Thanks honey.
Where the h... is that "Norton's Inside the IBM PC"? It was here next to the WitP Manual a couple of minutes ago

And your point? [8D]

LOL. In my technical school programming class, our instructor would give an F to a program that had even a single go to loop. Then he punished us by making us learn cobol.

IF Bad
THEN GOTO Hell

COBOL = compiles only because of luck

[Rainer]

COBOL as punishment? Did you know COBOL was invented by a female US Navy Admiral?
At least in so far it is a very appropriate programming language for WitP fans.
There is more to WitP than you see at first glance

It figures, with an acronym that starts with "C."

[Rainer]

Missed the point, huh?
Ok, here's clearer:

IF you
go on with this thread
AND the patch is delayed because of this
THEN I will come after you.

Clear enough [;)]

[Rainer]

Sh..! I've forgotten the lady's name.
She was promoted Admiral when she retired. I believe she was the first female Admiral in US Navy history.
Bump! Grognards, what's the name of that lady?

[pasternakski]

Ah, yes, I remember it well ... the Joycelyn Elders Sky Marshal character from "Starship Troopers" ... "To defeat the bug, we must understand the bug" ...

After she retired, she invested in condom-iniums.

[Mr.Frag]

IF you
go on with this thread
AND the patch is delayed because of this
THEN I will come after you.

ELSE I will laugh at you [:D]

[Rainer]

I give up. You win [:)]


FOR linecounter EQUAL 1 TO 1000
PRINT "Mr. Frag, back to the working bench! Now! /CR"
linecounter = linecounter - 1
CONTINUE

Oh, golly, anybody FORTRAN IV ?.[:'(]

Nothing like a nice infinite loop........

COBOL runs the world. On UNIX and JCL servers.

[Mr.Frag]

COBOL runs the world.

FORTRAN runs the wold, COBOL just stores the results [:'(]

Then I guess its a good thing I know both! [:D]

[Rainer]

Oh please, don't forget PL/1 and RPG!
And that little toy from Mr. Pascal called Wirth. Or was it the other way around?[&:]
Anybody remember JCL?!

MODERATOR: Will you please interfer to stop that, or at least move it into another rubrique so sane people can go on and exchange important messages about WitP, patches to be released any day, UN, reconquest of Mars, reduced beer consum at Münchener Oktoberfest, Frodo's professional future and other pressing matters?! For crying out loud! [:-]

[Rainer]

Admiral Hopper! How could I forget! Bummer[:@]
Thanks mate [;)]

[Yamato hugger]

Wow -- Mister Frag sure is full of himself isnt he?

McDonalds LOST a lawsuit because a woman spilled hot coffee on herself. Anyone can be sued by anyone. And anyone can win.

"case dismissed" indeed.
