My partial testing of QB64 v0.7 with XP

Very nice & stable release, Galleon. You've hammered out many bugs.

Everything is compiling smooth. All samples compile and run without errors. No path issues or file errors like before (using the programs I was testing last time). Seems to compile faster, too.

I've been having small screen issues when going full screen (have always been) but I'm sure they have to do with my video card/driver, so I didn't mention it before. For instance, doing alt+enter on apps under SCREEN 12 leave blank rows on top & bottom of the screen, maybe 10% each way (everything shows, it's all just squashed a little). No programs using SCREEN 13 show at all full screen.

I haven't really found any serious bugs. The SOUND statement is behaving a little odd at the beginning, like sometime not sounding. I'll start testing that more after supper (and I'm going to finish testing completely before I report any bugs this time).

I'd like to post a few suggetions and observations.

Is it me, or does QB64 compile a bit faster now? (not complaining ;)). Compiled programs are a little bit bigger, but the latest upx is compressing them to nearly 50%, and they run fine. Perhaps add upx to the mix?

A couple windows suggestions (now that these are windows programs). You probably have these in mind too:

1) Give user way to set title bar info, or use the name of the EXE (Anything's better than Untitled).

2) Put in a full screen statement, so programs can start in full screen.

3) Incorporate the \data\ folder stuff into the EXE.

I didn't have all the time today I thought I'd have to test QB64 -- the wife sucessfully turned my day off to a day on again here at home. :(
