What is a library and why are libraries important?
ArrayIO - Jon Ripley
ArrayIO provides routines to write entire arrays to a file and read them back again.
BB4WMAPM - Christos Stogiannopoulos
The BB4WMAPM library provides an interface between the BBC BASIC for Windows programming language and the MAPM arbitrary precision mathematics library.
BOX2DLIB - Richard Russell
Used in conjunction with BOX2D221.DLL and (optionally) BOX2DDBG.BBC, which are contained in the ZIP file, provides access to the Box2D Physics Engine.
CardLib - Jon Ripley
CardLib provides an interface to the Windows cards library used by all the card games supplied with Windows.
Date - J.G.Harston
The Date library provides functions for converting dates between a 5-byte centi-second count and real-world date and time values. It replicates the functionality of the RISC OS SWIs Territory_ConvertOrdinalsToTime and Territory_ConvertDateAndTime.
DrawLib - Chris Hall & Chris Dennis
Two libraries DrawLib and ShowDraw used to create and display Acorn Draw format files on Windows.
FORTHLIB - Richard Russell
Incorporate subroutines written in Forth in your BASIC program. Forth is much faster than BASIC, but easier to learn than assembly language.
gdip_image - Hans van der Hoeven
This library makes it very easy to display images or part of images in your window, using GDI+. It gives a very good quality scaling. This demo program gdip_image_demo.bbc explains the use of and demonstrates the possibilities of the library.
HASHLIB2 - Michael Hutton
Calculates the MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA or SHA-1 hash of a file or a block of data in memory.
HASHLIB3 - Michael Hutton
As HASHLIB2 but additionally calculates the SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512 hash.
HIMELIB - Richard Russell
Interfaces to the Huge Integer Math and Encryption library.
IMGLIB - Richard Russell
A pair of libraries, one for BB4W and one for BBCSDL, for displaying rotated, scaled and/or flipped images.
LoadDLL - Jon Ripley
LoadDLL provides a simple and fast interface for accessing functions provided by DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries).
MAlloc - Jon Ripley
Memory allocation library (using the Windows API). Provides functions for memory allocation, reallocation and freeing.
MAlloc - J.G.Harston
Memory allocation library (using BBC BASIC's heap). Provides functions for memory allocation, reallocation and freeing.
ODBCLIB - Richard Russell
Supports accessing an ODBC-compliant database (for example SQLite) . The Zip file include a test/demonstration program illustrating its use.
ONCOMLIB - Richard Russell
Provides an ON COM style facility which will call a specified procedure if an event occurs on a serial communications port.
ReadArgs - Jon Ripley
Used to parse command line parameters passed to a program and returns the number of parameters and an array containing the parameters themselves. Contains a convenient lexical analyser.
ReadLine - Jon Ripley
The ReadLine library provide several flexible functions that replace the INPUT statement. Includes a full line editor with common keyboard shortcuts, clipboard support, cloaked input and a configurable line history buffer.
SPLASHSCREEN - Michael Hutton
Create a Splashscreen for your program from a jpeg, bmp, windows metafile or icon file. Supports multiple monitors.
SQLite3 - Jon Ripley
Allows SQLite databases to be created and manipulated from BB4W programs.
Win/Keyboard - J.G.Harston
The Win/Keyboard library provides functions to replace GET and INKEY that return regular unique top-bit-set values for function and editing keys, and returns distinct values for keys pressed with Shift, Control and Alt.
Win/Reg - J.G.Harston
The Win/Reg library provides simple functions to read and write strings in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER part of the registry.
Win/Registry - J.G.Harston
The Win/Registry library provides functions to read and write data in any part of the system registry.
