Those functions are easily accessed by creating a .decls file with the DLL prototype. While I can include some of those, I was thinking of perhaps more complex functions not already available via the WinAPI.
How about things like...
Format$ - formatting a strings output similar to VB
DateAdd - Adding to or subtracting from a date by days/months/years.
Or maybe a new set of File I/O functions that can read/write structures or arrays at once.
Or functions to create/manipulate memory buffers.
Or testing for existence of a file or directory.
Or setting or testing for individual bits in a variable. (without AND/OR/XOR).
Or accessing MCI commands.
Gee, I got some good ideas on my own. :-)
Truthfully, the more I think about it, the real benefit would come from creating a new IDE that incorporated not only these functions, but allowed for MACROS, syntax checking, function organization.
I don't know if I want to take on creating a new IDE.
