romanLingo
Usage
the romanLingo
Description
System property; specifies whether Lingo uses a single-byte (TRUE) or double-byte interpreter
(FALSE).
The Lingo interpreter is faster with single-byte character sets. Some versions of Macintosh system
software—Japanese, for example—use a double-byte character set. U.S. system software uses a
single-byte character set. Normally,
romanLingo is set when Director is first started and is
determined by the local version of the system software.
If you are using a non-Roman script system but don’t use any double-byte characters in your
script, set this property to
TRUE for faster execution of your Lingo scripts.
