Ok. I probably should not at all be saying this, but it might not totally work anyways. Farstone (I believe http://www.farstone.com) has a program out called Game Drive which allows you to save a virtual CD on your computer and run it on a virtual CD-Rom thus eliminating the need for always needing CDs. I use this cuz im stinkin cheap and don't want to buy the dongle, but I haven't quite gotten it to work yet (but i believe it is due to a serial number swap which somehow occured). It is also really nice for your games, but that belongs in another catagory. Hope it helps

PS - Please be nice to the DarkBasic team as pirating software will only result in raised software prices. Nobody wants to buy DBP at $400!

Another method is to change the short cut that launches DBPro so that it launches editor.exe instead of launch.exe.

This way you'll only get the CD request every 500 compilations.

Cheers,
