RE: [ANN] ZeroBrane Studio 0.32; now with unicode support, moai integration, and wxlua 2.8.12 upgrade

Hi Paul
 
LUA_CPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Lua\5.1\clibs\?.dll
Yep, that fixed the problem thanks ! Script runs fine now and uses the sqlite dll without an issue.

Excellent, thats good news, please post an update to the list then when the next version is available.
 
By the way, forgot to mention the new Unicode feature worked great on my quick test. I have a really nasty Lua source file that contains
Low ASCII, STX, ETX etc, English, French, Greek and Chinese Lua string texts. This UTF-8 file loaded fine and everything displayed identically to when viewed in Scite.

looks like I am half Brit & half Yank, as I managed to spell it both ways :)
