Programming / Rust to Plain C compiler is exists, really...

« on: December 29, 2018, 01:05:02 pm »

Reading our local forums I discovered a link to Rust compiler that works without LLVM:

There are some books about the language:

I suppose it's now possible to compile FireFox (at least compile).

Utilities / Highmem.exe and Pmwp.dll - it will not work!

« on: August 30, 2015, 11:23:20 am »

Yesterday I patched "Pmwp.dll" using "Highmem.exe" to make it load above 512 MB.
Not only PM doesn't start after that patch...
DMT immediately broke WPS INI files. 
I used WPS Backup to restore them (DMT also has backup/restore capabilites).
Don't try to repeat this experience.

Of course, FireFox 31+ works well.

Storage / DISKCACHE causes delays on JFS volumes

« on: June 16, 2014, 10:36:21 am »

Since august 2013 (i.e. during the last year) I saw random delays from 3 to 15 seconds on JFS volume when reading files or directory nodes. This also affected to WPS and PMView 2000 - they both hanged randomly.

Defragfs.exe didn't help.

Then I added "REM" before "DISKCACHE=..." statement in "Config.sys" - and all these delays gone away.

Where can I report about this bug?..

Storage / DFSee fixes problems with 32GB Flash drives

« on: September 06, 2013, 11:54:51 am »

Hi!

Just want to inform you that DFSee fixes most of the problems with modern 32GB memory sticks. To work with them, it's necessary to delete all partitions on the drive, then select it as a raw source in DFSee (using "select disk" menu option), then create LVM-compatible partition and format it to FAT32.

For example, Kingston DataTraveler works with eCS 2.2.
