Thank you very much for that explanation txemsi
I have the A8 Pro version and just starting to familiarize my self. There is some command line explanations under help "Engine" that I have read.

I was thinking of runtime linking against acknex.dll and dependencies for some of my smaller C applications.
I also see on re-reading some of the docs that it can both compile to byte code or compile scripts at runtime, so guessing best of both worlds

Some friends say I'm crazy investing in such an old system and "C is dead. forget about it", but I love C to the end of the world and Acknex and Lite-C look like a great fit.
I use GCC and MinGW-64 (no MS VC compiler).

Thanks agian, I'll check in and say hi when I get some code up and running.
