1 - Ah, forgot about print forcing outputs inside colons

2 - Okay, nuff said on the subject matter then.  Although I do rather like the idea that a bug problem can still be fixed after the new version gets retitled to an old version.  It brings the idea of completeness to a product.

I suppose I am in a minority here.  Most people have most likely moved to the newest version or don't mind the bugs. 

However I speak also for the newest version of maple when it will become the old version next year.  People would like to have bugs fixed. 

Maybe Maplesoft can make a bug fix toolkit or toolpack which users can interact and share with each other??

I'll have to admit, most times, I just use whatever method I find first to get it done quickly so I can move onto my next project.  If the method I choose hits a wall, I still try to figure out how to make it work even though it may not be the most efficient way, although I do like exploring all the possibilities of reaching the same point and tweaking the code.  Although I never really strived for efficiency before being caught up in another idea and before you know it a new project, there never seems to be enough time.  Thanks for the explanations Acer.

One downside to striving for maximum efficiency is the delayed release of a project.  It's easy to get caught up in the code and take too much time if ever to finish it.  But you know, there's nothing like a nice efficiently compact code operating effortlessly on some large chunk of data.

@acer Thanks, that explains things a little better for me.  Also just figured out I could use Create to convert the array back to an image type array.

Regarding the preview of the image.  I was viewing in the windows picture and fax viewer and zooming in, hence the blurriness (dithering) of the black pixels that I saw.  Viewing in Paint the pixels are definite blocks of black.  The issue was minor but nonetheless now cleared up.

Now onto the bmp graph, with forehand knowledge of how the graph already looks, I want Maple to overlay a plot with the appropriate scale as found on the image and from this we can extract our points and store them in a data file.  I wonder if I should start an example and new thread to get more responses.  Maybe an attempt on my part will get things rolling.

Love the speed in mapleprimes now and also I am able to see answers and comments again (phew)

I just tried this in Maple 12 and indeed it freezes.  I've been trying to find out why.

I pulled the download section out of the code into a new worksheet and if I remove the 134's before newline it seems not to freeze (what is the reason for the 134?).  However after executing the code and viewing str it displays...

HTTP error 301 permanently moved.  Is it possible the web coding at oenda.com has changed and this worksheet no longer works with the current setup? 

How can we get this to work in Maple 12?

@acer Thanks again for the tips.  I see the reference to a document at the online help sockets page at maplesoft. 

A little tricky for someone such as myself who doesn't yet understand all the ins and outs of socket communications.

Mapleprimes appears much faster.  Awesome! 

However being unable to view any answers to the questions makes the site useless to me now, at least right at this moment.  Unless there is some background programming under work as we speak (hopefully yes, as I cross my fingers)...

... I will check back later ..

Thanks again acer!  I was able to shorten your Sockets:-Write line a little bit, and just use the Host option... 

Sockets:-Write(s,"GET /rssfeed.php?city=16 HTTP/1.1\nHost: tomorrowsgaspricetoday.com:80\n\n"):

...(for Maple 12) and in fact the loading was quite a bit quicker. 

BTW, how did you know how or where to use all of those extra options, Host, Content-Type and User-Agent?  Using the Maple documentation regarding Sockets I would never in a million years have come up with something you did.  Tips I found here in mapleprimes were critical in getting as far as I did.

@acer Thanks that works good, appreciate the help.
