This is an experiment on the fastest way to convert a byte string
into a word string, that is double size of original one.
It is in the New Testbed [work in progress].
Could you please test it on your machines and post the partial screen displayed
as the following:

90 columns, 34 rows. The executable is set to work that way. If you assemble/link
the source you have probably to change console properties.
Frank
if i open the exe by clicking on it, it runs ok, but i cannot copy/paste the results with XP while it is running
the mouse is disabled while waiting for the keypress
so, i open a console window and type in the program name at the prompt
then, i exit the program to copy/paste

I don't remember how XP manages the console, but in Win/7 when I run the prog,
after it has displayed the test results, if I right click on the topleft icon I can have access
to the console properties, and see if the edit mode is selected or not. It should be.
This permits to select part of the screen with the mouse, or you can select all, copy
and eliminate redundant lines after pasting it somewhere.
Of course you should not be in full screen mode in XP. :P
Frank
ok Frank - that works
i can right-click on the title bar and access the edit context while it is running :P

Good to know that XP has this capacity as well. :U
What do you think of the overall project
New Testbed?
Do you think somebody will ever use it? :lol
Frank
i do
however.....
i am thinking we may want a GUI app, though
not just because of presentation and appearance
it is more likely to provide a real-world environment for the test code to run under
you probably already have that on your to-do list :bg

Well, I'm developing this version to learn some new ASM and to have a tool
to test the algos. Because the testbed used so far is just nothing more than
a sequence of algos and prints, I had the idea to build this new one as
an alternative as well with a more user friendly interface and some extra-bonus added.
The gui version could be useful as well, but algos are just that, and usually
a console mode suffices.
It'll suffice for a couple of years, at least for me. :P
There are a lot of routines inside the New Testbed, and most of them are not
optimized at all. Experimenting with them, optimizing them will be my hobby
for the months to come. The program is not finished yet. Testing all the PROCs within
with the same program will be its way of evolving :lol

Yes, that's the same thing, but
unicode could have a different second byte other than zero
if they are representing specific languages [chinese, japanese, and so on...]
Converting a byte to a word always means to put a zero in the high byte.
That's the difference. :U
How did you get this unaligned display?
Frank
QuoteHow did you get this unaligned display?
I have just made a copy from dos.Think you haven't the same resolution than mine (800*600).
If it is that, you can try to use % for the dimension of your windows.

Two things:
1] use
code instead of
quote2] select the area starting from the border and up tol the opposite border.
And after you can try to post again the results, maybe they will be more
readable.
I changed
quote with
code and it looks a bit better. :bg

Something to take care of: the CPU description string can be longer than 1 row on the Screen.

it would be nice if it reflected the number of logical cores

The problem is with the horizontal scrollbar who have not the good size,don't know for what.

I was spoken about the scrollbar of the mail in the masm32 forum.
I have no problem to copy the array in the notepad.
I's only here , that I have one.
Those who have problem with the mouse can have a look on the regedit key value:
Quote
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console ;value QuickEdit set to 1
no need to mess with the registry:
Command Prompt (shortcut) Properties
Options tab
Edit Options
It's quite a strange collection of weird screens.
This one seems to have passed through an unnecessary notepad conversion:

Nobody has noticed you can Save the screen in its original format, vith the S command with POP extension,
zip it to about 1K and post the zip? This option is for people who have problem copying and pasting the text content
of the screen. But you shouldn't have any. How is it so complex to copy and paste the screen content? ::)
We have dscussed with Dave the problem, and it can be solved easily I guess. But probably I'm too optimistic. :lol

The screen for the one with the alternate character set looks fine on the screen. It just pastes wrong, tried it several times, and I'm not sure there is anything magically different about the machine. Not pasted through Notepad, done directly. I might have multi-language support. Ok, I see it now, Mozilla is set to View -> Character Encoding -> Unicode.
A ZIP'd up screen is a lot less viewable in a forum post than the cut-n-paste.

The zipped screen can be managed by me or somebody who doesn't have these kind of
alignement problem, can be seen with the program itself, with the
View option as well.
By the way, did you paste directly on the board or through a notepad passage?
This last one can mess up things a little. :lol

OK Clive, maybe this is the reason, but I'm not sure. Do you see my posted screen or somebody
else's with the correct display?
Could you try to zip the saved POP file and post it, so I can View it with the prog?
Thanks
Frank
hI,
Updated the ZIP file in my older post to add the POP file.

Hi,
Steve!
You are test old archive, probably?
You recompile the sources?
Just I found similar problem yesterday: "http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=14871.msg124349#msg124349"
Now Frank fix the program - try it from that thread (that is main thread of this his program).

Something to take care of: the CPU description string can be longer than 1 row on the Screen.
Needed to remove " with " word, and spaces between sets, i.e. they will looks like: "Intel 8088, MMX;SSE;SSE2;SSE3..."

Not understdand what you mean.
There is direct link to new beta090 (your one is old): "http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=14871.0;id=8408".
Check it - it works. I say about recompiling, because yesterday I have the same console screen as your screenshot, if I recompile sources with ML6.15 or ML8.
Apparentely on win 2k the display is completely different:
1) no grid at all
2) no colors
Probably depends on the fact it only has SSE1, and some instructions of the program
require at least SSE2 code.
It only displays:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4 (build 2195)
Pentium III with MMX, SSE1
Conversion of a screen buffer from DOS to Windows CHAR_INFO structure
Alex / MMX - PUNPCKLBW 62 12.952 12.937 12.916 12.920
and so on...
NO screen format at all.
Because the code to prepare the screen uses XMM registers, you can try to
press F1, and see if the help screen shows correctly. It uses only MMX code
so it should appear.
but use the compiled executable, otherwise download the last release from
the link Alex pointed to, I've changed something to make it more compatible with
old assemler versions.
No actual solution for the SSE1 though.

Well, what you see? Compatibility - is big issue :P

Yes, not SSE2 enabled CPUs will treat prefix opcode as nothing to meaning. But FPU will trashed.

Alex, I'm using your routine with MMX code to convert the Help Screen, if he doesn't
see neither that, I really don't know what compatibility issue it is. ::)

Change
movntq qword ptr [edi],mm0
to
movq qword ptr [edi],mm0
in the MMX conversion proc :green2

OK Alex. Why did you use
movntq instead of
movq ?
FORTRANS [Steve] should try this on its PC and see what happens in his machine
on mine probably nothing will change.

This new release should have fixed some of the issues. Not all of them though regarding
compatibility for old machines.
A better use of MMX instructions as well

Hi Frank,
No grid. Will update screen shot in ZIP file in Reply #21. The
cursor is gone on exit, and the screen colors are not restored and
remain yellow on dark blue.

It got truncated to 8.3. When renamed it works.

Hi Steve.
Well, the 8.3 filename lenght is another problem for old OSes.
I've prepared a version that should run better on yuor machine
and clear the console to white on black as well, and restore the cursor.
Test it and let me know.

Hi Frank,
It is an old version of PKUNZIP not the OS. An upgrade failed.
I reverted to an old version for command prompt. And then
loaded a GUI unzip, but I never remember to use it. My bad.
Yes this version works, grid and all. Cursor and colors (more
or less, boldened) restored.
Thanks,
