Rob Craig:
I benchmarked SPLITs 0.10 and 0.15. 0.15 is on average 40% faster than
its predecessor. I buffer the information upto 1.44Mb (optimised for
floppysp.bat) and then write it out. Granted, there's still Euphoria's 8k
doing its thing underneath it all. That's a 1% increase every 36k, using
*coded* buffering. If Euphoria did it, it'd be even quicker...
Everyone:
Incidentally, I'm working on a long filename version of SPLIT that
reads/writes directly from floppies, but it's extremely annoying to find
that Long Filenames don't work in DOS Mode. (But they do in a DOS box...)
