Question about _MEM blocks and arrays

[ahenry3068]

@ahenry3068, I completely agree. Shelling out to run external programs can be quite slow. Another problem is that it is not portable and introduces dependencies into your program.

I noticed that ImageMagick has the ImageWand and ImageCore C APIs. If you create a QB64 wrapper or use DECLARE LIBRARY directly, you should get improved performance in your code.

   Actually one reason I used ImageMagick is that it IS PORTABLE at least among Windows & Linux & MACOS.    It works almost identically among the 3 major platforms.
In some ways I'm still a neophyte in specific areas in QB64PE.    I still have an MS-DOS mind track in some ways.    I'm not to familiar with linking in external routines.   If
I do I would like it to be portable among the 3 major platforms.
