Knowing this doesn't:

thanks Dave, its also a lot more elegant and will work faster too. i will generate a patch for it to be applied on top of the first one. as my biggest strength is visual basic things like this dont come to me straight away. im
hmm... VB... yeah.. BASIC in general tends to lend itself to crappy programs, always has, always will. However BASIC on a PCjr was my first language, so I guess it was okay to start with. Except for the fact that BASIC is so screwed up it screws with your mind and it takes a long time to realize that almost no other programming language does things like BASIC.
Might I suggest Python if you are in the process of learning programming. Python is an extremely elegant language, interfaces well with C code, and has several GUI toolkits. I think the default toolkit is Tk (yuk) but wxWindows has a python version you may want to check out. The real wxWindows (C++) is just amazing for ease of GUI programming, I assume the Python version is probably easy to use too.
still trying to work out what this means
(delta < 0 ? 1 : -1)its got me stuck. im currently looking at the wine install script as it doesnt find the windows registry when installing wine with an existing windows installation.
As Dimitrie said, that means if delta is negative then 1, if positive or 0 then -1.
The general form is booleanexpression?then:else
