[ Editors ] Graeme wrote "Without wanting to detract from the excellent editor contributions, am I the only one who uses ED.EX?" I used a heavily modified EE (Ask Dave, It's really modified.) The Blue background is the Best colour scheme, try any other colour and they wont be as good, this is a well known design fact BTW. You can change the colours under the Options:Colour menu. Oh and Dave the last releases Graphics modes are very slow, compare to what they were. [ Long Command Lines Solution ] Save the command arguments in a file, pass the file name as an argument, load the file and use the arguments. Mc-Affee Virus Scan uses this mathod to allow you to creat 'ini' files. [ CDs] CDAudio.E is the place to start for your CD programming. It doesn't have the Sound Blaster package which you don't reallly need. Try finding both in the archive. [ Machine Language ] Alan Tu wrote: "Is machine language that cumbersome?" No using a computer is that complex. That and it's hard to optimise high level languages. You want small use assembler. [ I/O ] On the topic of being the only one or a one of few, Who else doesn't use get() and print() for file I/O? [ Words Of Advise ] Remember when using PKZIP telling it recurse into the sub-directories doesn't tell it store the path info. I am goin to be spending months extracting months of work back to where it came from, cause I forgot. [Hardware Problems] Has any one had this problem: Computer starts. Performs POST hangs while trying to read from the Hard Drive. HDD light stays on, wont turn of unless you do a HDD Auto Detect or a Hard Reboot. I thought it fair that I point out not all viruses are created with bad intentions. They might be created for: a) creating anti-viral techniques b) a computer security class and c) the same reason people drive fast, eat fatty food, walk at night and do all the other things were told we shouldn't, because we want to live our life.
