I know. This is what I call "need to maximize it by hand" - and it is two mouseclicks too much.

The lazy opinion.  :lol

Thanks Michael. I'll do it in order to save time/energy and mouses destruction.  :lol

Latest release 1.51. Download from previous link.

Hi!

Since Frank allow to add the "Manager" into his latest release, here it is.

Features:
1. Easy to add/remove/change algos into testbed.
Just select empty AlgoX.inc template file, and insert your code piece or proc into it. Read comments to do things - all is simple, and you can tune testbed to show description for algo and specify minimum required instructions set.
2. Printed code size - all labels inside AlgoX.inc files already specified - for code piece, and for entire proc (uncomment which you needed).
3. Changement in code which copy contents of the screen into clipboard - some small fixes of original code and adaptations.
4. All other code is Frank's.
5. Implemented coping into clipboard.

Algos files 1 and 2 already contain two tested procs, and tuned properly for needed instructions set - so see to them as to example, and put code to them after they will not needed anymore.

Feedback is welcomed.
See what it is, how to use it, any suggestions.

EDITED: the great (un)documented feature of GetNumberFormat maked some mess. See for attachment 7 posts below :P

In other it work? :P

Did you instert trailing CODE tag yourself, or code do this itself?

Very big sources, which entangled for looking not by developer. :P

[dedndave]

yes - works fine otherwise
no - the clipboard had the closing code tag at that point ??

at least you have an idea where to look   :P

[Antariy]

I found culprit - GetNumberFormat is returns count of chars copied + ZERO terminator - unusual behaviour, which is not documented in my sources. :P

Will post after minute...

[Antariy]

This if fixed version. DEC EAX added to agree with (un)documentation of GetNumberFormat :P

Well, now you can try to add some code into test - this will require a much less efforts, probably. :P

[GregL]

Alex,

Did you update the readme.txt file with any changes?

No, I didn't. I leave translation of "cyrillic English" to Frank :lol
