[Gambas-user] Strange error with arrays

[Eilert]

Hi Rob,

I have re-written everything to array objects, and it runs well this way.

Will be somewhat tricky, just think of multi-dimensional arrays with 
some value being 0: myarr(0,6) which I had here (changed it to [x * y] 
instead of [x, y] and made sure that 0 is always turned to 1...)

Oh, and I missed Boolean[], so I took Byte[] instead. It works (I 
thought it won't take as much memory as integer[] :-) ) but would you 
have done the same?
