ZeroKs 0 KB file compression

ZeroKs will convert most any file to 0 K bytes, at least from what you can tell by the file size. When ZeroKs implodes a file, the data is not stored IN files. Instead, it IS the files. And the files are always size zero. One consequence, in theory at least, is that when a disk quota is in effect, t...

Re: Cmdwiz - 54 operation cmd helper tool (now with Unicode)

I disabled Quickedit and the problem persists, intermittently. Here is the log. C:\AwSim912>call :Get_XY C:\AwSim912>cmdwiz getmousecursorpos x C:\AwSim912>set x=473 C:\AwSim912>cmdwiz getmousecursorpos y (frozen) But now I find that if I wait 1-3 minutes it will eventually continue, or it may have ...

Re: Cmdwiz - 54 operation cmd helper tool (now with Unicode)

OK, I think I've isolated the problem. It's not clicking that is causing the freeze but any mouse movement. If I keep the mouse cursor still when it gets to this part is works properly every time. If the mouse is moving it always freezes.

And it is cmdwiz 1.8

Re: Cmdwiz - 54 operation cmd helper tool (now with Unicode)

Well yes Quickedit is enabled. And I have seen it happen again and found it to be intermittent. There is a point where a click takes place immediately prior to that so I'm wondering if it is somehow delayed so it gets registered late and interferes with cmdwiz. I'll try it with out calling cmdwiz. D...

Re: Cmdwiz - 54 operation cmd helper tool (now with Unicode)

Any idea why calling this would result in my batch program locking up before the exit /b, sometimes at the first call and sometimes at the second? :Get_XY call cmdwiz getmousecursorpos x set x=%errorlevel% call cmdwiz getmousecursorpos y set y=%errorlevel% exit /b Well, after I wrote that I tried ch...

Re: Creating Shortcuts using a For Loop

You could also do it in batch and VBS with: :MakeLnk >makeAwSimBatLnk.vbs ( echo Dim WshShell echo set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject^( "WScript.Shell" ^) echo Set oLink = WSHShell.CreateShortcut^("AwSim.lnk"^) echo oLink.TargetPath = "cmd.exe" echo oLink.Arguments = "/C AwSim.bat" echo oLink.Worki...

Re: Batch Games

Coded this a LONG time ago. Horrible coding, but it's too big for me to really redo. Hope you don't mind, I made a few changes and added some code. Now it's a clickable text messagebox game with speech prompts. I wasn't sure it had a name so I call it '4 Get It?' I kept the underlying game code log...
