Oh yeah, I cooked this up in BlitzPlus way back when and I quickly grabbed the sample without realizing that it wouldn't work the same in Blitz3D.

Blitz3D doesn't handle strings passed to/from userlibs the same way BlitzPlus does.

What you have to do is something like this:
Change...
day$ = String(" ", 150)
...to...
day = Createbank(150)
...and:
...Len(day)
...to...
...BankSize(day)
...and then you would have to use PeekByte to get the text out of the bank before you print it. Yeah, it's more of a hassle. I'm not sure why Blitz3D doesn't work "quite right"...
