    Declined Stand-alone TCC window: how to manually adjust window size by characters instead of by pixels?

    On a stand-alone TCC window (not maximized), if I adjust the font size, the window will change in size accordingly, with it neatly taking the exact size required to display the extant rows and columns. However, if I change the window size by dragging the borders, this will be done by pixels...

    Fixed Unexpected result from the @cksum function.

    I just upgraded from build 19 to 22 and the results on my test files match the expected output.

    Any way to disable ALL the global hotkeys?

    TCMD doesn't see it, but standalone TCC does. :-|

    FOR command: /Q option to add quotes to the expanded variable.

    In the case of ECHO, missing the quotes isn't much of a problem; commands like DEL or MOVE, however...

    FOR command: /Q option to add quotes to the expanded variable.

    I use a lot the FOR command in the TCC command line to process sets of files (to check on them, move them around, etc.). A quickly typed command does well and good... until a filename containing spaces shows up, which produces wonky results. For example: Sometimes, it's an unexpected result...

    Fixed Unexpected result from the @cksum function.

    I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that. The cksum command is part of POSIX and therefore guaranteed to exist on all POSIX-compliant systems (indeed, it's present on both Amazon Linux and Ubuntu, as shown above), but md5sum is not; while it is present on both systems as shown above, it is...

    Fixed Unexpected result from the @cksum function.

    @md5 doesn't have a problem. How is that function treating the file size?

    Fixed Unexpected result from the @cksum function.

    A pdir /s | sort command was even quicker. ;-)

    Fixed Unexpected result from the @cksum function.

    Seems this is indeed the case. I located another humongous file in my hard drive and repeated the test, with the same result as you.

    Fixed Unexpected result from the @cksum function.

    I can hand it over to a few select people for testing purposes. (it's a zipfile of the digital version of an album my son bought) EDIT: seems it won't be necessary. Thanks, vefatica.

    Fixed Unexpected result from the @cksum function.

    For the first time, I have run into an unexpected result from the @cksum function in TCC. I have a rather large zip file (almost 5 gigabytes), for which the @cksum function produces a different output than the cksum command in Unix systems. On the other hand, the @md5 function does produce the...

    How is KEYBD implemented? (I want to send a RESET command to the keyboard).

    KEYBD can programmatically set the three lock lights and disable/enable the keyboard. I've spent a while looking up the PS/2 keyboard protocol for an issue I am dealing with, and I would bet good $$$ that KEYBD is sending the ED, F4 and F5 host-to-keyboard commands. Turs out that FF is the...

    Declined New Command to Update a File Timestamp

    Declined New Command to Update a File Timestamp

    That may parse for hours, minutes and seconds, but we're talking about the milliseconds (after the decimal point/comma) here, so I do expect ".7" to mean ".700", not ".070" or ".007".
