Euphoria on Vista
Hello there,
Recently i got a chance to test some programs on Vista, and
i didnt seem to run into any real problems with Euphoria, testing
mostly version 2.4 though.
I had a few problems but they were caused by differences in the
Vista window messaging as compared to Win98 and XP for example.
One other rather annoying thing was that some of the directories
were protected so that programs could not write to them. This is
both good and bad i guess, bad for the program i was trying to run
but good in the long run where you dont want hacking programs to
put stuff in certain directories (C:\, for example).
One thing i cant believe is that MS finally got smart and put in
a system to catch .exe programs before they are run on your machine.
This means if a program called Trojan.exe tries to run on your
machine (for the first time that is) you get a message box that
says something like:
"Trojan.exe is trying to run on your machine. Allow this program
to run or abort?"
and then you can choose what you want to do with it.
I've wanted to do this for years now but never got around to looking
into it for XP.
Of course all the things that DONT work in Vista i dont want to get
into right now. Until service packs come i wont use it. After
service packs come i will probably be glad to use it provided it
runs swiftly at least as good as XP, which that test system did not
do either and it was a 3.3 GHz machine with a 300MB/sec SATA hard
drive.
I still wonder though why some hard drive tests on that system
showed the hard drive to be slower than my old 650MHz system.
The hard drive showed up as being only half as fast as the
old system!
Take care,
Al
E boa sorte com sua programacao Euphoria!
