- fyi: the first vocoder in a 4k was in void 3 (when was it? 1999?). and the full source of that is available. (http://www.active-web.cc/html/research/)

- 4k Windows gracchus by kolor [web] & Freestyle [web]
- 100 bytes is 2.5% of all available space in a 4k. Besides it requires more space. Think: Every function per name, that's about 15bytes per function. Also be aware that packing behaves a lot more different with 4ks than on a 64k.
and ryg: i didn't find any dx dlls, heck not even kernel32.dll in any fr intro :) i think it's ok to raise the match a bit for 4ks - wish i had problems like this :)
and now i stop explaining 4k coding to you people - figure it out yourself :P

- 4k Windows gracchus by kolor [web] & Freestyle [web]
- i can answer maybe one or two comments:
the problem that the 4k version is unlikely to work on many pcs is that (which is nowadays pretty usual for win 4ks) does import by ordinal on everything, which means that if you do not have the exactly correct version of win2k (including the matching servicepack) it will fail. i hope they mentioned which version of win is required in the .nfo :)
about the .exe size: it is not compressed tightly at all, because another win-4k-trick is to write out a .com file to disk and run that to save bytes. however, some people do not like intros writing to disk and the intro would not run from eg. cd. so they choose to include the big exe for maximum viewing comfort & compatibility and not just a tiny one with import by name only.
ryg: it's a wonder that you see anything on radeon and not a crash :) . MAYBE check the advanced settings of the card though: sucky ATI tends to default setup ogl to 16bits on all textures even if you upload 32bit textures. set to 32bit. also check that any kind of fsa is off (!). Again a 4k thingy that you just don't have the bytes to disable fsa manually. - isokadded on the 2002-09-02 13:32:06
