Hi,
I use DJGPP 2.03 for some years without problems, now I tried to
recompile one of my project with DJGPP 2.04 and found a problem caused
by strange delay() function behavior. I found that when running under
pure MSDOS or Windows98 dos box maximized to fullscreen then shor
delays take too long time. eg. delay(1) or delay(10) takes the same
time and they are slower. I have some loop where is up to 128 times
called delay(5) and it takes several seconds to go now. But when I run
it in dos window under win98 it run quick as build from DJGPP 2.03.
To be sure I downloaded djdev203.zip package and put it back to my
upgraded DJGPP directory replacing current files. Yes then it works the
same in DOS and Windows. Is this a bug of 2.04?
What reccomend other DJGPP users, 2.03 vs 2.04?
