Blitz changes var types in userlibs!?

Okay, maybe Blitz is changing the size of mantissa or something, but why should this affect my integer vars?

The only reason I could see is a statement by PowerBasic, that NPU registers are used to store vars temporarily for faster access. Maybe this causes a side effect to my integers too?!

@Panno: Wow, you're right, 16 bit integers work! But since I need at least 32 bit it isn't an option for me.

Btw, I discovered that only constants with value = 1 are displayed as "10", every other constant value stays the same. Well, I tried this:

%c = 1
MsgBox Str$(%c) ' Displays "10"
For i = 1 To %c
  MsgBox "Hi there"
Next

The MsgBox shows up only once.

%c = 1
MsgBox Str$(%c) ' Displays "10"
For i = 1 To Val(Str$(%c))
  MsgBox "Hi there"
Next

Now the MsgBox will be displayed ten times. Seems that Str$() causes the problem.

But all this is still mysterious to me. :(
