I tried to benchmark a little. Archivers were limited to 512 Mb. Timings only in the second test. Precision is kept 1 Mb/10 seconds intentionally. There are many comprehensive benchmarks, but I tested nearly the last versions. OpenOffice 2.0.2 sources, 1209 Mb (there are several .gz and

Correction: Rar produced 212 Mb on OO 2.0.2 sources, but using force text compression makes it produce 206 Mb with not really big time overhead. Then try one of the last compressors as PAQ8, your OO 2.0.2 sources will take days in compress, but i think you can get 140-150 MB or even less

To save your time, you should limit your tests to: It doesn't take much human time. 1. Command-line tools. Creation of installs is automated. GUI tools cannot be used in automated builds. 2. Completely cross-platform. For obvious reasons. 3. Completely Open source. For

[fpc-pascal] Daemon doesn't work right at boottime.

Hi all, I have written a daemon as part of a project (I used the daemon.pp example as a skeleton), it's working quite perfectly if you start it from the commandline, including from the bootscript I wrote. But when started at boottime it doesn't operate correctly anymore. The timer still counts

Any idea where I should start looking ? Just a shot into the dark: maybe you start yout deamon, before your local timezone is set up? Does it change anything, when you move your bootscript to a higher position in rc.x, e.g. make it S99whatever? Good theory, but my daemon is very nearly the

Just my 2 cents: If you're on linux look at the file rw permissions, especially for I/O-interfaces like ttyS0, ttyS1, etc. In Fedora they have only root write permissions. Joep Well as far as I know I'm not writing to anything except the log file, and the daemon is running as root anyway.
