Hell, I would have written a little program to convert the tables for me.. nobody would actually go through those tables converting them to VB by hand, right?

I'd hope not. I suggest declaring a global array for each table (CharIndex, CharTable, BitMasks) then write a function to fill the array which can be called like this:

Code Select Expand

FillArray CharIndex, _
&H0247, &H0236, &H0225, &H0214, &H0203, &H01F2, &H01E1, &H01D0, _
&H01BF, &H01AE, &H019D, &H018C, &H017B, &H016A, &H0161, &H0158, _
...

The arguments for the function would look something like, FillArray(TheArray(), ParamArray paElements()). I did not save the example I sent UL because I assumed he'd keep it...

That's what I did the last time I tried to port this.

Adron, how do you plan on doing the bitwise shifts without a c++ dll? in pure vb? haha?

HINT:
x << y
x * (2^y) (note: ^ is power of and not xor)

x >> y
x / (2^y)

[Adron]

Yes, but you have to mask off bits so VB won't puke on an overflow.

im wondering if anyone can tell me how far off from accurate this is or if anyone can correct any errors i made in porting this.

Yes, you went with UserLoser's horrible coding after asking me how I told him to do it, then ignoring my post (just like UserLoser did...)?

I guess people don't care for optimizations.
