[Freedos-devel] ImageMagick for DOS

2005-08-26 Thread Blair Campbell
Hi all. Just finished compiling ImageMagick for DJGPP with no modifications made (only the commandline tools, but I actually use them more than the GUI :)). If anyone wants them, they can e-mail me, or they should soon be found on Johnson Lam's lite.

I believe that this is a new problem in new generation machines that are do much more energy saving. But historicaly, this new things use the old hook for compatibility so I wouldn't relly on it any more. Even if it was safe before (and me wrong) Alain Eric Auer escreveu: Hi Alain, RDTSC

djgpp may not be good for the kernal programming but I can't think of a better platform for applications programming.  I know that there are those who are more into Freedos as an antique excersize in programming. However, Many comercial utilities use some form of dos as a spingboard for bootable CD

I clearly remembered it: "RDTSC varies it’s counter as the system speed changes when Intel SpeedStep" From Intel's own site... Alain Adrian Sietsma escreveu: as exprimentally verified by David Burgess, the intel RDTSC instruction is affected by processor clock throttling ie. power saving mod

Wow, it is very interresting! I don't have many experiences about ASM programming. How can I catch the opcode failing? And I can handle theese instructions myself? Even if it is not supported in the EMM386? It would be great! And anyway - I would like to know how to discrimine your EMM386 and its
