Bootcamp let's you run Windows natively on a Mac. No, I just used the .image. (which doesn't let me do everything) I'll get it on my Virtualbox Windows 7 someday.

Oh I see. The compiler or anything else won't work though

Probably because forming them would be a huge pain.

Re: Web Blox!
Hi! I just had a look at web blox, and it's amazing! I love the idea of being able to use scratch style to code html and other web languages!
two problems I do have with it though:
the major one is that a block type language like this is supposed to make coding easier, why not have an easy-to-understand name for a block rather than the actual code? for instance, why have a block called <br /> if you could have the same working block called "create a break"? It would make it so much easier to understand! Maybe add it as a switchable option?
the second thing is that I think open tags like <html> <html /> and such should be C blocks to make things easier!
altogether great job though!

It already is a switchable option. Look at the "L" and "P" buttons at the top.
Yawn.

1. <br /> is for people who know html.
2. That i s already discussed!

the compiler is .exe, Macs can't run those files.
Yeah, I'm mostly inactive. I check in once in a while though. If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

I did consider this but the way it works is that each block writes that line to a temp file. I will however try and find a way around this for the next release!

Make the C block write the open tag then have all the center blocks write to the file and then write the end tag. This code should go into the C block.

I had the same problem when I started working on a version of Panther for programming microchips - couldn't get it to write something to a temporary file when a C block finished...

Yeah, thats the major problem. 
I'll ask LS97 and see if he knows.
