I have a script that contains nothing butcode:
"v1.0"
and instead of printing v1.0 to the screen, as KiX3.6x does, KiX2k prints ?? wassup?
To add a bit more info... Put a space anywhere in the "" and it prints fine.

Try this script:k2ScreenWriteTest.K2K
code:
break on
cls
"v0.0" ?
" v1.0" ?
" v2.0" ?
" v3.0" ?
" v4.0" ?
" v5.0" ?
" v6.0" ?
" v7.0" ?
" v8.0" ?
" v9.0" ?
" v10." ?
" v11." ?
" v12." ?
" v13." ?
" v14." ?
" v15." ?
" v16." ?
" v17." ?
" v18." ?
" v19." ?
" v20." ?
" v21." ?
" v22." ?
you will notice the KiX2k stuffs up only the strings that have an even number of characters. The numbers represent how many spaces there are in front of the v. So V22. has 22 spaces, then "v22." making 26 in total. The number 8, however, is an exception...
 Now try this: code:
break on
for $a=97 to 122
$c=" "+chr($a)+"4.2"
$c ?
next
This will print 4 spaces, then a letter from a to z then "4.2" - a total of 8 characters. You will see that a to h are ok, but i to z are nonsence characters. This even occurs when you use a variable to print to the screen  Mr Ruud sir  please please fix this...
More info... I have found the reason, this is a lightning bolt generator... read on:
try this script in a DOS box that is at least 104 chars wide and a buffer of at least 75 lines: Lightning.K2K
code:
break on
cls
for $i=1 to 74
for $a=97 to 122
$c=""+chr($a)
if $i<10 $c=$c+"0" endif
$c=$c+$i+"."
"$c"
next
?
next
Now what the hell was that?!

This admittedly bizarre behaviour is caused by an obscure issue in one of the Unicode APIs.I will add a fix/workaround for this in beta 2. Thanks for the report! Ruud

Cool.I have noticed something similar in Notepad in Win2k and wonder if it is related. When there a very long lines in notepad, it prints junk, but when you use the mouse to select the junk, it becomes clear text again. The possible UniCode problem is this - Pop this into Notepad on Win2k:
code:
