No to all the above.
I do have a new 20gig hd sitting on the other puter, ready for fdisk to
partition it, i plan on that hd getting onto this puter, to get more hd space.
Right now, i have the kb split up to fit the puter, rather than the other way
`round. If that solves this problem, i'll be amazed, considering i am playing
with such small files in this particular program. Considering this is
Micro$oft windoze, i am thinking the disk cache is not closing the files as
fast as Eu can process them,,, i mean, nothing ran as fast as Eu when
win95 came out, and the timeout_before_writeback may be too long in the
OS. Can i call a function, like i did in pascal, to cause windoze to flush the
cache after a file close? It wasn't a OS or pascal call, it was
Smartdrive.exe's flush. I don't think it is the hd filling up with Eu
sequences, cause this program is reading from E:/ the OS is caching to
C:/ (with a gig free), and the program is executing and writing to D:/. One
note, Robert, on this puter, E:/ is a partition on D:/, there are programs
doing disk read/writes on C:/ and D:/ that are unaffected by whatever is
happening with Eu while Eu is running or crashing. But i have noticed it is
possible to lock up multiple apps, such as IE, Explorer, Textpad, Notepad,
etc that rely on messages, if one app is doing intensive disk access. For
instance, mirc can make Explorer freeze if mirc is in a tight loop and i tell
Explorer to refresh the view of D:/ , and if Eu is running intensive disk
access, like this app, the mouse is an hourglass in all windows, even tho i
can select the other windows and those windows are running ok.
I'd still like to know how we can set the thread priority in windoze while it is
running, because Taskinfo2000 says Eu is typically using 98% of cpu
cycles, and this could be a problem someday, given Murphy's Law.
