Yeah, checking my archive, the first stuff I have after the BoB2 release is a zip of the v2.03 release, dated Nov 19th 2005, so as the original BoB2 was released in August 2005, v2.01, and .02 must have each come out in those intervening 2 months, so there wasn't much time to do anything except fix ...

As you know, I have very little intersection with programming; I did some BASIC and Fortran with Wat IV exactly 50 years ago, which was basically using computer language to run physics calculations on sets of data, because there were no calculators to do that back then. Then I did some 6502 and 8086...

Hi PV, I have a question. You wrote on the Bata forum, "Juan Arquillos was very helpful in getting 2.13 out the door," Do you know the VS version that he used? Was it VS version 5.0? I know you do not deal with these issues but I thought you might have access to the information. Did Two27...

Hi Jarod: with regard to switching between versions for testing, it will *probably* be alright to just switch the .exe for some instances, but you should know that when we did upgrades to new patch levels throughout the years of BDG development, at several points we made some pretty large changes to...

I've sent a request to A2A; these should have been replaced when the missing 2.13 patch download
was found and reposted after the big server reorganization about 3 years ago, but apparently you're
the first person to try to get them since then.

This is probably all incoherent speculation, and can be disregarded, but... As you are aware I know next to nothing about the way the code works, other than reading discussions other people have had about it, but it seems to me I recall that regarding memory issues, there were problems with XP, and ...

Hi Pete, I didn't know there were any programming AI forums about. So that could be interesting. The version of visual studio that I have, installed two extra programs and they seem to be connected with some form of AI. I have not looked into them to see exactly what they do because, as to yet I ha...

Oh, it occurs to me to mention, if you aren't dialled into this already, that I've been hanging out on various tech fora, where programmers and IT sorts are often chatting about their activities, and over the last two years, the advent of AI chatbots has really had an impact. Coders are often talkin...

Hi PV, thanks for the uploads. Do you know of a way to compare the installers Files for 2.01 and 2.02. I am having a very hard time believing that a code change in v2.02 could cause our problems with W10/11. Umm, I have used Notepad++ to do file compares; instructions here: https://www.thewindowscl...

Hi all: I've posted links to v2.03, 05, and 06.1 (it required a quick patch at the time) on the Beta forum. Sorry to have not checked in earlier. I doubt I'll be able to help with testing, as I've kept Win7 on all my machines except for a little laptop with Win11 that was given to me. I was sort of ...

It's been a while since I've inhabited this forum regularly, but I seem to recall it used to auto update upon new posts; there was a major forum software change a couple of years ago, and besides removing my ability to do some forum management (I've forgotten what, now), it seems the auto-update no ...

Are the release installers sufficient? They are just the install .exe files. Looks like I've already got v2.09 installer on my drive. I'll post the link on a post in the beta forum (I don't think there's any need to conceal these, they were public releases, but just in case we have to share somethin...

Hi Buddye! I have all those versions too, full zipped file sets, and the original installers. I can hang them on my google drive if you need them.What format do you like? (No source code of course, just the public releases).

Hi Pete, Good to see you are still looking in every now and then. I have not seen anything of Jeff for quite some time. So do not know whether he is still about. One thing I want to ask you, do you still keep the archive. If so, do you have all the separate bits to the manual that I did. I kept eac...

Ah, things are happening over here. Ok, in a reply I put in the general forum, I said Felizpe had done some digging into what seemed to be involved in the failure of BoB2 v2.07 or later to run on Win8,10 or 11; he had found that original BoB2 (v2.0) did run, and started fooling about swapping things...
