...The age of 7, when I made a number of award-winning maths programs 
Anyway, on topic, it will be a short program to extract and play from a named menu, the music from any of the BBC's Look and Read games/programs. It will work past the BBC's bad taste in not using the highly popular Tracker format, and it will suceed where DoggySofts music ripper has failed 
Later editions of this (yet un-named) program will include...
**An easy to use GUI**
**Drag 'n drop support**
**Conversion to ProTracker** May take a while
**Conversion to MIDI** (maybe)
Anywho, no doubt i'll soon be pissing many people here off, scouring this forum for help/suggestions etc.
My other thought was a port to Windows using the BBC BASIC for Windows interface. Does anybody have this? Is it any good? Presumably you can't use SYS calls, or is that emulated?
All help gracefully received  |

BBC BASIC for Windows doesn't emulate RISCOS SYS calls, but the SYS statement is supported for accessing the Windows API. So pretty much anything you might want to do with SYS calls can be achieved, but you'd have to convert them to Windows API calls! For example to set the window title in BBC BASIC for Windows you would do:
SYS "SetWindowText", @hwnd%, "New title"
