Here's the code again, just in case it was bad(might of been a comm error or something). It would be rather easy to fade the other way- from dark to bright. I should of included a subroutine to do that(only a couple of modifications would be required)... If you need this type of fade, let me know and I'll post it! '****PART 1**** 'The following program makes the fade.obj file. To make a .QLB use: 'link /q fade,fade,,bqlb45.lib '(assuming bqlb45.lib is in the current directory) 'To make a .LIB so you can compile it, enter LIB at the DOS prompt and 'type: 'fade.lib at the library prompt 'Y at the "Make new library?" prompt '+fade.obj at the operations prompt '<Enter> at the listing prompt DEFINT A-Z RESTORE OPEN "fade.obj" FOR BINARY AS #1 S$ = "": Check = &HFFFF: CheckSum = 0 FOR A = 1 TO 345 READ A$ A$ = "&H" + A$: V = VAL(A$): S$ = S$ + CHR$(V) Check = Check XOR V: CheckSum = (CheckSum + V) AND &HFF NEXT IF Check <> &HFF3F OR CheckSum <> 0 THEN PRINT "UNcool! This copy has been trashed!" END ELSE PRINT "Success!" PRINT "R.G."
