Re: [Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools

I know what you mean, but it is worse than you think. The command line parsing routines eat up nearly 1000 bytes in each tool. Some of the tools would only be 100 bytes or so without needing to interpret the command line. However, there are several reasons that it is being made this way. 1)

Hi, You're both right, of course, but I think I know of an easy solution (even though I haven't looked closely at any of this yet, but they do indeed appear to be .COMs). "Ark v1.101 - COM archiver and EXE 2 COM converter" (45822 bytes) ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/pack/ark101.zip On Tue, Sep 1,

Hi guys, Just FYI, there was an old except from an AMD x86 manual that showed how to do 64-bit arithmetic in 32-bit assembly. I quoted/inlined it here, if you're curious: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=7852 Or just steal the LongMul and LongDiv routines from Turbo/Borland

[Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools

Hello all, I’ve done a little bit of restructuring. The http://up.lod.bz/V8Power precompiled version will no longer include the source files. Those will be maintained over at http://github.com/LoopZ/V8Power Also, I have started making detailed examples on usage of V8PT. They are in both

Re: [Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools

Might be a dumb question - but why creating so many micro tools? Would it be possible to have all of them inside one binary, with behavior adapted with a switch? (a la busybox - like "V8POWER VCURSOR HIDE") ? It would certainly make the toolbox much more space-efficient on big (fat) clusters
