[fpc-pascal]FPC ncrt

2004-08-26 Thread Jeff Weeks
ClrScr doesn't work using nCrt. Anyone ever notice that? Switching from Crt to nCrt causes readkey to function properly. This is a big help. But now I can't clear the screen!! Which crt unit is everyone using? Any way to force a screen clear? Thanks! Jeff Begin forwarded message: From:

[fpc-pascal]Why is FP Win32 Version running and compiling much slower?

2004-08-26 Thread Zhang Zheng
My operating system is Windows 98. I found that the Win32 Version of F.P runs much slower than DOS Version, no matter compiling or typing in programs.What cause this difference? The Memory? Except for the compiling mode and memory parametres, are there any other greatest differences between win

You are right- in general the win32 version runs more slowly on win9x than the dos version. Dependent on the type of benchmarks the difference is up to 30%. Strangely this happens even for fp benchmarks eg fft or non fp processor intensive code and which probably don't use memory management. We don

[fpc-pascal]Graphics cards, VGALIB

2004-08-26 Thread Jeff Weeks
Do I really need to use vgalib under linux? I'm having a hard time finding a supported graphics card. Is it true that only a handful of chipsets are supported? Any way to use the X graphics rather than vgalib? Can't get graphics to work on my Trident 9660. It's the oldest chipset I have.

Try holding down the SHIFT key while your program is executing. (?!) I discovered this while doing intense text output to the console (where the speed increase is easy to observe directly). Win98 console text output consistently goes twice as fast or faster while holding the shift key, particula
