since you have an interest in multiplying big numbers, here's something that may interest you, This Guy Just Found a Faster Way to Multiply
the pdf explaining Integer multiplication in time O(n log n)
since the professor is in Australia, perhaps Richard might be interested

Edit: I revised this after I realized it wasn't related to fbc version. Compiling with fbc -gen gcc -Wc -O3 I get almost 10 seconds of delay before compile is successful, tested on two large projects. Using an IDE this delay starts after all the warnings are displayed, and just before Make Done. Th...

I have been running Windows 10 in a VM for years now and it works great, my only complaint is that my Mac uses the function keys and are therefore not available on Windows, sometimes that can be a hindrance. today, inspired by a youtube video I installed Windows 10 1903 x64 on an external USB drive,...

@ jj2007 I have not done any benchmarks maybe later, however the VM's usually run as fast as the real hardware. there's an advantage in this case to run it in dosbox, because the emulated drive is just a folder so it's easy to add/delete files on a side note, if your eyesight is not as sharp as it u...

I now have Windows 3.1 in DOSBox with sound and screen resolution of 1024x768 :-)

does anyone know how to expand all compressed files in a directory ? i.e. file with an extension that end with an _ I really don't look forward to expanding each file individually, would take forever the situation is that I have the Windows 3.1 in floppies but a lot of the files are in compressed fo...

@Gromow
I would like to know whether you are a human or a BOT, we had several BOT posting lately and your posts look suspicious

@coderJeff
thank you for the detailed information and the script :-)

@Mysoft
looks really nice, what screen resolution are you using on DOSBox?

hello MWheatley instead of selecting properties, select defaults , then change the settings to your liking, it will be remembered by any console programs compiled via WinFBE however, if 8x16 font is ok then you could use the graphics window, example using the qb dialect, compile as GUI to suppress a...

hello MWheatley to get a bigger console window in Windows, launch your program then right-click on the title bar of the console window and select properties then you can change your font/font size and under the tab layout you can set the window size you only need to do this once, thereafter the cons...

@MrSwiss
I went ahead and rebuilt the 32-bit version with the include that I mentioned to you viewtopic.php?p=264961#p264961
both versions have the include, for what it's worth, compiled with CFLAGS -fPIE -pie
fb1.07.1-win32-gcc920
fb1.07.1-win64-gcc920

@deltarho[1859]
the way I understand that statement is, stripped by default unless told otherwise
so I was thinking that with the options -fPIE -pie it would not strip the table.

@deltarho[1859]
sorry to read that, I think this is as far as this script kiddie can go.
I will go ahead and build with gcc-9.2.0 and post it here when done just in case someone is interested to try it

how about -gen gcc -Wc -O2,-fPIE,-pie -Wl -dynamicbase
