fizzpopsoft,
Thank you for responding,
I bought a new laptop with Windows 8.1 pre installed.
The first problem I had was with Rob's Qback.exw. Which I used as my main backup.
It uses Xcopy which was replaced with Robocopy in both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
Which works better and faster Xcopy. But I had to rewrite my programs to accommodate Robocopy.
After I clean it up I was going to post it in the archives if anybody is still interested in Euphoria anymore.
I kept getting nag screens to update to Windows 10.
You can stop it by deleting a certain Windows update. But every time Windows is updated they sneak it back in there.
Anyway, later on my Windows 8.1 system files got corrupted. Microsoft wanted to charge me to reinstall Windows 8.1 because I didn't have the code number.
So I said to myself, "Seft, Why not download Windows 10, It's free". A big mistake.
For one thing it realy slows down this old (made for Windows 8.1) Toshiba.
The main problem I'm now having is the text_colors have changed:
| Command | Was | Now | |
|---|---|---|---|
| text_color(0) | BLACK | BLACK | |
| text_color(1) | BLUE | BLACK | *err |
| text_color(2) | GREEN | GREEN | |
| text_color(3) | CYAN | BLACK | *err |
| text_color(4) | RED | RED | |
| text_color(5) | MAGENTA | MAGENTA | |
| text_color(6) | BROWN | BROWN | |
| text_color(7) | WHITE | PINK | *err |
| text_color(8) | GREY | GREY | |
| text_color(9) | BRIGHT_BLUE | BRIGHT_BLUE | |
| text_color(10) | BRIGHT_GREEN | WHITE | *err |
| text_color(11 | BRIGHT_CYAN | BRIGHT_CYAN | |
| text_color(12) | BRIGHT_RED | BRIGHT_RED | |
| text_color(13) | BRIGHT_MAGENTA | BRIGHT_MAGENTA | |
| text_color(14) | YELLOW | YELLOW | |
| text_color(15) | BRIGHT_WHITE | BRIGHT_WHITE | |
| Add 16 it blinks | No bliking | *err |
The column on the left was run with an .exe file created with Euphoria 3.1 and Watcom on Windows 8.1.
The column on the right was run with an .exw file created with Euphoria 3.1. on Windows 10.
The both use the same .exw file.
I'm not sure if this a Windows problem or an Euphoria problem. I tend to think its an Euphoria problem because the old bound program is working ok.
