    thinbasic not knowing O2 any more?

    in the last time i use oxygen mostly "pure" but today i wanted to use the advantages of the both combined and started some studies and came to the samplefiles in thinbasic
    just for check and inspiration.

    But what happened? Does thinBasic not know any o2-functions any more? I tried to run dozens of o2-samples shipped with thinbasic. Thinbasic bugs out and suggests me to write

    uses "oxygen"

    on top of my script ??? its within every sample
    o2_asmo is not recognized iin none of the samples
    exceptions;
    ConstData\constants.tBasic : here thinair complains end rawtext without beginning - but its there,
    replacing it with quotes... -> o2_asmo is not recognized
    OxygenAsDLL.tBasic: -> o2_Basic not recogized

    None of the samples runs here
    in many cases thinair has not enough knowledge. It should not be allowed to revoke the execution because of some bug it claims to have detected. Mostly that are bugs of the bug-detector
    like it refuses to run any oxygen-programs that hold statements that are not 100% thinbasic-conform.
    E.g.
    Select whatever (works without a keyword "case")
    If (no "then" follows)
    only punctuations, delimiters, whitespace- but not any word-char in a line (not line continuation of a previous line in effect nor any unclosed open parens waitiing for its closure)
    are comments, not a reason to error "Invalid delimiter"
    it should not complain for

    ▛▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▜
    ▌ any unknown, ▌
    ▌ non-wordchar- ▌
    ▌ characters ▌
    ▙▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▟

    but tolerate such as comments
    or interpret it for example as unciode resources when new lines begin with unqiue numerals

    Hmm thinbasic needs a makeover

    Is it possible to embed oxygenbasic to visual basic 6.0 ? is there any approach that permits to use the GUI designed in vb6 (since it's unmanaged) or can oxygen be used within any later visual-studio-edition to make use of its GUI-designer?

    Important without the microsoftish-heavy-weight-.net-burden, without codelines theirs length forces users permanently to scroll from L.A. to N.Y. and back in order to read these.
    I hate this kind of coding and prefer when Identifiers are not dozens of dot-concatenated verbs that only differ in 3 of 125 chars and where it requires to waste so much time
    on repeatedly reading the variables names that are barely to remember or to differ only after examination of an area 2 or more screens left or right from the center.
    I like much more those meaningful little syllables with 2 or 3 chars that to type takes a second and where a typo is to find on first sight.
    I think there are missing some Forum-sections as beta-testing and support

    Ciao,

    RAWTEXT is deprecated and maybe can create problems in some scripts.
    In future thinBasic versions I will remove completely.

    On my computer most of the OxygenBasic scrips are working.
    Can you attach here a not working script and I will have a look.

    Ciao
    Eros
