... is running BlitzMax fullscreen graphics-based apps very well !
It's still struggling (on my Mac Mini) to run in a window, but that's to be expected, given the resolution my screen is in already.

Feels nippier all-round too. Very nice :-)

Makes having to test Win32 apps and modules a little less tiresome.

I wonder if there is an upgrade from version 3? I have that on my mac. If I recall the apps ran okay for opengl and stuff, just that it didn't support shaders in Vista Aero. I keep forgetting that I have parallels, actually, and rebooting to get to windows.

Like what I did. :-)

That is good news (since it is a pain booting in windows just to test blitzmax stuff)

PLS

I wonder how to install it? I had tested version 3 a few months ago. Now when I try to install version 4 it says that it detected version 3 somewhere (Thought I got rid of it) and then the installer reports an error (Which one it does not tell me) and that where it stands still. So, no go with it for me.
