I realize no such thing, because they do have "drive firmware" SD cards are removable drives, and all current drives have onboard controllers and firmware. In the case of SD cards, the controller is usually a modified 8051 CPU or an ARM variant. See On MicroSD Problems « bunnie's blog for...

Sandisk doesn't specify. (Ultra microSD UHS-I CARD | SanDisk) The answer would depend on exactly what sort of NAND Flash was used. But I think the question you're asking is "How many times a cell can be written to before it becomes unusable?" The answer for the sort of flash used these days...

Another place to poke around on for still like this is TextEditors Wiki: HomePage. It's a wiki dedicated to text editors that is trying to document every text editor on any platform. (There are text editors for pocket calculators...) It's currently up to 1,928 entries. My first text editor...

<grin> I've had Almy's TECO port for a long time. IIRC, he also has a build for Linux. Alas, it doesn't support video TECO, and you can't use it to resurrect Richard M. Stallman's original Editing MACroS under ITS at MIT's AI labs that is the ancestor of current Emacs. :-P Stallman and Guy...

Playing catchup here: I haven't had those problems here. Actually, you can, though it's not obvious. If you want to open something in a new window, add it as a tab, then drag the tab to your desktop the way you would in a browser. Presto! Two Explorer windows! I generally want stuff to...

There is a font charset setting for ANSI, but it's not clear that other ANSI escape sequences like save cursor position, restore cursor position, and clear to end of line are supported. I'll have to experiment a bit. _____ Dennis

Yeah, you're right. I'd forgotten about that. My main use for ANSI is a fancy PROMPT string that paints an inverse video status bar at the top of the screen with various embedded information, and leaves it there while the normal prompt appears at each line below. (Under 4DOS in MS-DOS, I...

The issue here is ConEmu blocking it, so it likely would work in TCC-LE. Any chance of getting your injection program? _____ Dennis

I could, and if I did more than glance at Python occasionally, I might. Since I don't, Clink is a better fit. The other addon I sometimes use in CMD is Jason Hood's Ansicon. It's an open source Win32/64 equivalent of ANSI.SYS. See http://adoxa.altervista.org/ansicon/ It works in TCC-LE...

And for those who must use CMD.EXE for whatever reason, but want some enhancements, Clink (http://mridgers.github.io/clink/) is worth a look. It uses a Win32 port of the Gnu readline library, and offers bash-style command editing and completion, aliases, and scripting in Lua. I use it here in...

Which is what I do here. Aside from CMD and TCC-LE, I have Win32 ports of bash, tcsh, and zsh among other things. ConEmu is a currently maintained alternative to the open source product I used to use - Console (http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/) Console was my tabbed console manager of...
