I was thinking it would be neat to have a thread where we could post cool third party library links as we find them and have them be in one location.

Do you mean 3rd party library in general or thinBasic related?
Just to understand where to place the forum.

Well sort of both, if there is a nice third party library that we should know about, and if interest is there we can make it a thinBasic module. I am studying the freebasic headers and looking at stuff Petr has done. I sort of get it, but I don't. I had some help from Parker for doing the same on the Aurora Forums, but with guidance I see it, but on my own, I see stuff that just throws me for a loop.
Microsoft, and I am understanding why more and more each time I look into it, assigns a new type for almost everything, instead of saying just integer, long etc. I can see that it makes it handy to maybe trouble shoot complex code, but it makes it really hard trying to figure what all those types are and how to translate them. TO be honest I always just think integer, float and string, I never really used anything else. Now you have long and short ints, int64, dwords, words, double, quad, and on and on, very confusing and hard for someone like me with bad memory. Can I just assign Variant to everything and get away with it :)

Done.
You can find under General/3rd party.
