b800 in borland c++ builder

T.
Hi, is there any possibility of getting the pointer to text screen memory in
borland cpp builder console applications (like in borland cpp 3.1 with (char
far *)0xb8000000)?.

TIA

no... a console app is not the same as a DOS app. There are however windows
APIs you can use to get a handle to a screen buffer which you can manipulate.

Here's a library that will allow manipulation of the console application
screen in a manner portable to both console apps and DOS apps:

I am wondering if it is feasible to use .NET for applications that have to be very fast. We have a few applications that are blazingly fast, written in Borland C++ using Borland C++ Builder. We would like to port over to ..NET, but some of the test models we have developed are MUCH, MUCH slower than it's Borland counterpart. Is this due to the .NET Framework and the JIT? Or is it something we should be looking for in the project...

I am just beginning programming again and need a bit of advice. I have both Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition and Borland C++ Builder 6. Of these two which do you consider the best for programming windows programs (not the DOS style program). I have had a quick look at both of these and Borland seems to have a lot more components (Buttons, Forms etc) than Microsoft Visual C++. Does Visual C++ have these components easily accesable. Chris.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
