Thank you! I will definitely read it. Right now I am reading files in 5kb sections to EOF and I am reading 350 average size jpg’s in around 4 seconds. I will be doing some processing on the files but that will be done after everything else is as fast as I can get it. JB > On May 16, 2

Hi Richard, Thanks for the info. The reason why is because I am reading a lot of files and was wondering if it would be faster to write a external to read them. I have no complaints and I think it reads them very fast already but I was doing what I could to learn if it could be speeded up. I am

Thanks, Bob. Sounds like it would be easier and better to write a new external to do the job. Your info will save me some time. John Balgenorth On Oct 9, 2014, at 11:11 AM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > Livecode supports xcmds still so far as I know. The trouble is, those xcmds > were compiled for O

Livecode supports xcmds still so far as I know. The trouble is, those xcmds were compiled for OS 9, and we are way past that. There is no way I know to convert a compiled OS 9 xcmd to an OX S xcmd. You would need the source, and then you would have to refactor it in a current compiler. Bob S

The Hyper Talk was pretty simple. I had a few different file I/O externals that would allow me to sector read the disk. I don’t think they will import or I could use them. They really do not need an external window so if you know how I can import them that would be really great. John Balgenorth

Technically I'd think yes, practically I'd think there are any factors that would cause it to fail, obviously the size of the data being the most obvious. Reading from one external HD and writing the file to another external HD would be your best bet. I assume your talking about some LC custom sol
