Does it include MSXML 2.6 or SQLXML 3.0 SP 3?

It didn't work on my disk last time I tried it. >V2.5 19-Apr-05 Fixed "Math ERROR" in XMS buffer alignment >V2.4 11-Apr-05 Fixed exiting INT-flag error >V2.3 28-Mar-05 SERIOUS init problem fixed! Hmm.. maybe I should try it again... I advise you if you get any warning messages at all do not continue using it; things like scandisk could cause serious damage to your data.

Seems only problems trying to write to harddisks larger than 137 GB then? The problem is in the file ESDI_560.PDR. The code it uses to access the hard disk does not support 48-bit LBA. As soon as you try to write beyond the 137 GB point of your hard disk, it will wrap around and access the area at 0 GB, most likely completely trashing your data. Reading beyond 137 GB will most likely cause crashes. Partitions don't cure this. You will be using this file and it will appear under Hard Disk Controllers unless 1. you booted to DOS 2. you are in safe mode or 3. you installed special drivers for your motherboard or HD controller (like me; I use VIADSK.MPD).

Just use TUGZip. 7zip and IZarc are also great programs. WinRar is nagware. 7z format is also more compressed than rar. Why would you want to use nagware to produce bloated files? ZipGenius is also bloatware, don't use it.

If the screen has 25 lines then you could print 10 blank lines and reprint the bottom 15 lines. What environment does this need to work in? Can you depend on ANSI support? Can you use libcurses? Is it a Windows console program?? Console window manipulation is really platform-specific and isn't directly available in C++.

Ok, it looks like FlexeLint might be what I need: http://www.pts.com/flxlint.cfm?det=y But is there a free/OSS tool?

Hi, I have a monumental, ancient C++ program and was wondering if anyone knew of good tools to track down unused .cpp, and .h files, and functions? The more this monster can be trimmed down, the better!

I would like to learn more about Eiger. However, I won't agree to licensing or activation terms that I feel are intrusive, oppressive, and humiliating. I use 98 SE and unfortunately XP currently. I've never accepted XP EULA or activation terms, but I still use XP legitimately.

Try asking your question in the Unofficial SE Service Pack subforum. It sounds like it would be a nice thing to have. I'd rather just download a 200 MB driver pack than scour the internet looking for individual drivers.

Does SP2 install MSVCP60.DLL (a Visual C++ 6 runtime library)? If not, I suggest that SP2.1 install it. It is installing VB runtime libraries, I believe.

PKZIP 2.50 is probably adequate for your compression needs. You may also try downloading the Microsoft's Cabsdk (which contains MAKECAB.EXE, or my favorite, CABARC.EXE). These can produce CAB files, which are similar to ZIP files. If you run CABARC with the "-m LZX:21" option you will get very good compression, better than PKZIP and almost as good as 7zip. Unfortunately CABARC.EXE runs is a Win32-only command-line tool. So you can only compress in Win32. However, you CAN use the standard Windows EXTRACT.EXE program to extract CAB archives in DOS mode. I am not aware of any 7zip command-line extractor that runs in pure DOS mode.

May I suggest looking at Savepart. It can save entire partitions to a file (or multiple files if you need over 2 GB), and restore the partions from the file. Probably when using this to transfer an image you should make sure your partitions are of compatible size and type. You can ensure this by using a partitioning tool such as FDISK, or better yet, Ranish partition manager aka part244.exe. Savepart also has compression and decompression capability, but the compression it is awfully slow. It might be better to just save your partition to a file and then use PKZIP to compress it. Note that I don't think your 98 SE image will work unless the computer you install it on has similar hardware. Part of what 98 SE SETUP.EXE does is assemble a file called VMM32.VXD that is a compressed archive of the VXD files your hardware needs.

why does Office XP run on the 9x system while O2k3 doesn't? What I read is that there's no much difference between them. Man, there is a huge difference, O2k3 is so much better. If you open a document discussing 98 or Linux, for example, a pop-up will warn you that the document contains untrusted and potentially unsafe subject matter that may corrupt your system and damage your self-esteem if you are an XP fanboy. Also, if you enter a typo in Word, the 3D skeletally-animated dog with pixel-shaded fur will walk over to the spot on your document and drop a steaming turd. Yes it is a low-spec system, only because it is running 9x. Low-spec is having a bloated sluggish OS like XP or Longtooth installed that drains your resources with 100 services running and causes applications and games to load and run more slowly. Low-spec means, instead of buying an actual OS, paying a premium price for the right to subject yourself to communist, Big Brother activation schemes devised by a convicted monopolist. I'm sticking with 9x for my Athlon 3400, 1 GB PC thank you.

stay with Windows 98... I could care less. I just don't want to hear you complain 2 years from now "xyz program won't isntall on Windows 98... boo hoo hoo" On the other side of the coin, I have software and hardware that works fine on 98, but XP SP2 is incompatible with it right now. Just the other day I tried to use my multi-megabyte HOSTS file from 98 SE on my XP system, but I had to remove it after it brought XP to its knees.

If it's not much to ask and if it's not too big, could u send me your C++ program [zipped] in email? Sure, I'll send you everything tonight. If there is demand I will improve the program (it is awkward right now). I have approximately 100,000 verified hosts now. I ran through my unverified hosts lists (13,000 hosts) a few times and it keeps verifying a dozen or so new ones each time. Probably this is affected by the DNS cache server I am using.

Can u post the link to the newer CIP version, please? Sure, here is the CIP 5.00 SR6 (the non-crashing version), it is about 185 KB: http://files.webattack.com/localdl834/CIP500.exe If you search for CIP 5.00 SR7 you will find it but it is either 242 KB (cip500.exe) or 138 KB (cip500.zip), and it is much worse in my opinion and it crashes. It looks older actually. Try it here if you want: http://sitelance.com/files/CIP500.exe http://www.filelibrary.com:8080/cgi-bin/fr.../105/cip500.zip That's why I've abandoned this altogether. I still haven't given up yet. I wrote a C++ program to launch many threads each doing gethostbyname(), and my program is faster than CIP I think (100 hosts a second on dialup). I could complete 110,000 hosts in an hour easily. Edit: I've checked all 119,279 hosts. After the first pass, 105,000 hosts were validated. On the second pass, 200 more hosts were verified. I'll keep checking until I am no longer able to find valid hosts.

NOD32 isn't free is it? I use Outpost Firewall and AVG Free Edition. I've tried Kerio Personal Firewall 2.15 as well. Kerio uses fewer resources, but Outpost seems more user friendly. Sygate Personal Firewall caused bugs for me (stuttering mouse and problems shutting down). I use the HOSTS method as well. My HOSTS file is 3.6 MB. I only use it on Windows 98 SE, because, unfortunately, Windows 2000 and XP are known to have problems coping with large hosts files.

I downloaded a newer version of CIP - 5.0 SR6 I believe. It doesn't have the resource-draining OS-crashing bugs, but it doesn't appear to work either. After about 1000 hosts it kinda gives up and trying to Stop or close the program won't work. I located an even newer version and I'll try it out later...

BTW: When you're done cleaning your HOSTS file, can u send me a copy, please? Will do, but it may be a while.. CIP seems perfect and extremely fast but it unfortunately drains an enormous amount of system resources, usually causing an OS crash within seconds. This program was written in 1998 and I don't understand what the programmers were thinking. The crashes occur even with small files (~5000 hosts). I gave up on CIP after rebooting the fifth time. nslookup.exe -type=A does its job fine but is slow (sometimes it hangs for a while waiting for a response from the DNS server). I'm using system() to call it from a C++ program. it will take over 100 hours (longer in real life) to do 110,000 hosts (note: sorted and deduped). Maybe I'll have it do 100 nslookups in seperate threads - I guess basically that is what CIP is doing.

Ok, it looks like this NSLOOKUP tools is not great, and netdig.zip might be better for my purposes: http://windows.meetholland.com/message/109129.aspx But having nslookup is better than having nothing.

Nslookup is a command-line DNS lookup, normally only available on Windows NT and above and Unix. I found a freeware replacement; you can download it here: http://www.pc-help.org/trace/trace.zip There are some other network tools in this file such as whois.exe; I am not sure what they all do. Anyway, I suggest putting NSLOOKUP.EXE in your C:\WINDOWS directory. This should be in USP2.1 FWIW, I am using nslookup.exe right now to check through all 110,000+ entries in my HOSTS file (3.6 MB) to look for dead hosts. I am using my normal DNS server that is chosen automatically through my dial-up connection. Does this sound like a good idea? Should I use multiple DNS servers? I am not really sure how DNS works.

as for the XP dude, wtf are you doing hanging around in a Windows 95/98/98SE/ME forum Sorry, to set the record straight I am all for 98 and against XP. Right now I am using 98 SE on my Athlon 3400+ 1 GB PC with USP2.0, 98SE2ME, and Revolutions pack installed. The "just install XP" comment was my sarcastic response to johnny_9x's quoted anti-98 comment. Fortunately he only posted 8 times before he was banned.
