Hello Bart, >> if (GetBiosTime() - startTime > (unsigned)timeout * 18) >> break;
> Menu timeout set at 10 seconds. Boot kernel with menu at 23:59:55. > Timer expires at 00:00:00 (0-1.5M = very large number) and that's exactly the wanted behaviour. > instead of 00:00:05. but it times out, and doesn't wait indefinitively. and to wait precisely 10 seconds in the case that someone boots FreeDOS at midnight AND is sitting at the keyboard AND thinks it's a bug that the timer gotes off early is simply not worth the code to handle this case. > >> + if ((unsigned)(GetBiosTime() - startTime) >= timeout * 18u) and the original code uses long arithmetic on purpose. tom ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
