- FSEEK.COM Program to speed up disc drives
-
- Placed in the public domain 2-22-90
-
- This program was inspired by a fine program of the same name by
- Kirby Devore,a "C"language programmer. I thought I would learn a
- little bit about the language, but being a really rotten typist, I
- thought,"Man,it really would be shorter in Assembly than C".
- Moreover,in playing with his program, I discovered that there was no
- protection from a stupid operator. (This may be picking nits,as he
- probably deserves what he gets.HaHa. Anyway, this is the result.
- the assembly source file has a fair explanation of the operation of
- the program, and this is more typing than I've done in a lifetime, so
- I will shut up.
-
- 1. Oh yeah, if you have Kirby's program already, you still won't
- have a problem,since mine is "FSEEK.COM" his is "FSEEK.EXE". DOS will
- take mine over his,but you might want to REName one to something else
- to remove any possible confusion.
-
- 2. Also, if you compare the amount of keyboarding involved in the
- two source files, you will find the ass'y program significantly shorter.
- AND 175 BYTES long instead of 10+K!!! Kirby,you listening ?
-
- 3.I have been using the "beta version" (hyuck hyuck) for months in my
- Klone 8mHz XT (it's in my AUTOEXEC.BAT file) with zero problems.
