Thanks for following up with this, Richard. I'm really having a lot of fun enhancing this program. As I've said previously, I am better at orchestration than composition. I hope to use the program extensively in my future development projects. I'd really like to post my version, but I don't think cundo would appreciate that.

Really? Is he claiming Copyright infringement or something? Usually when people post code to forums they encourage others to improve on it!
What aspects of cundo's program do you feel make it better than FreeForm? That's Open Source so I think anybody can publish modified versions so long as the Copyright notice is retained.
Richard.

I've never been able to get FreeForm to run. I always seem to be missing some file that I can't manage to find. Once when I did get it to run under JB, it seemed a bit creaky and quirky.
I can't run LB anymore on my system. The trial period has expired and I have no intention of paying for it.

FreeForm uses several bitmap files in LB's bmp folder so it is necessary to have LB installed (it doesn't matter if the trial period has expired). So download FreeForm_LBB.bas to the folder where LB's example programs are - that will probably be %appdata%\Liberty BASIC v4.04\ or %appdata%\Liberty BASIC v4.5.0\ depending on what version it is, and run it using LBB.
That should give you a working version of FreeForm that does not depend on LB, except for the bitmap files. You could always replace those with your own custom versions if you want to be entirely independent of LB. FreeForm states specifically that it is Open Source so there shouldn't be any IPR issues so long as you retain the Copyright notice.

The JB version of FreeForm is significantly different from the LB version.

I got Freeform up and running thanks to your excellent directions, Richard. My initial impression is that it's everything for everybody but perhaps a bit too much for me personally. Cundo's Liberty Composer is now tailored to the way I like to work, and the code is almost understandable. However, I will continue to evaluate Freeform and perhaps take some of its features over to LC, if possible. Thanks again for all your support. It's truly a privilege to be able to work with you.
