Hi All, A new howto is now in "tips" section of web page. It finds the bios and prints the computer manufacturer and bios maker. Here is the text part. ... ...
Hi All, This is a rambling discussion Linux display handling. The library (asmlib) has lots of functions for handling the display and it has become a little...
Hi All, The web page has another mini howto for getting CPU information. Also, I've updated AsmFile, AsmBug, and possibly others. If anyone is intersted in a...
... You are a *dynamo*, Jeff!!! I can't come close to keeping up with you. I did just d/l the latest asmtools, and started in the AsmLib_tutor directory....

... Great, a bug to work on!! I needed a break from administration stuff. The problem was a buffer overflow. Old memory conservation habits die hard. I...
Hi All, The web page now has downloads in "deb" and "rpm" formats. I still need to verify each download by installing here. That might take awhile, it was a...
I'm always told how SSE2 routines always beat the FPU's hard coded routines, however i've never actually seen this quantified. Yes, SIMD is good in theory, but...

There are several ways to accomplish this. You can use the 'clock' system call and read the 'process CPU time' from the structure. You can use the 'getrusage'...
Hi All AsmIDE was updated again. I found some error messages were flashed up on the screen and the used did not have time to read them. It appeared as if the...

Here is a first draft of a new howto. The library mentioned in the howto is complete and tested, I'm now working on the tutorial. None of this is on the web...

LinuxasmTools updates ... For curiosity I installed the new 3D nvidia drivers and all the AsmTool X programs died. Trying to find the problems, turned up...
Hi All, this is a status report I've been chasing bug, working on the AsmLiba tutor, and researching signal usage. Everything was going quiet until yesterday....
I remember reading about signals when reading up on sockets... It isn't quite something that looks appealing to me, so i'm not surprised that not many know...
... Right! This may be an area we can exploit with assembler. The kernel folks say signals were not intended for program sequencing. They prefer we use...
Yo! The web page has the latest asmliba (event library). It includes a template for creating programs with lots of comments. The template actually runs so it...
Hi, This is a discussion of windows in Linux terminals. I've been testing the fast cached dislay and a problem surfaced. Many debuggers don't show the app...
Hi All, this is a review of current projects The terminal project is being tested. The goal of this project was to create a terminal widget that programmers ...
... Yeah! most assembler programmers use sys_fork, but all I've found in the thread libraries is sys_clone. I don't think sys_fork fits anywhere in the thread...

Hi all, I've given up on the "pthreads" model used by "C" programs. There are simple methods to do threads that are a little slower. One way to do it on...
Hi all, The following short program demonstrates direct kernel calls (avoiding int 80h). For assembler programmers this appears trivial, but it appears to...
