Kelsenellenelvian Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Attention Deficit Disorder.Honestly when that app was first released it had to take a lot longer than that to run.Is 2.5 seconds gained worth the hours you have already wasted searching for a way to make that app a breath shorter?People have absolutely NO patience today.IMHO things like this is the exact reason we have windows 8 being rammed down our throats.

I like to make things better.Win 8 isn't being forced on anyone. You didn't go buy it did you ? :-)Later gator, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Dumb question... Which version Of TASM (Turbo Assembler)? Sounds like strictly the DOS version.In any case, 3 seconds isn't bad. Have you tried COMMAND.COM instead of CMD.EXE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
