Re: Commando Basic Alpha Version Released

Do you have a version that does not require an installer, e.g., a .zip of all the files?

Re: An obfuscated C coding contest

There is a C runtime library DLL that comes with all versions of 32/64-bit Windows - it was intended for an older version of Microsoft C. gcc under windows uses it, and it cuts the size of the resulting .exe's by a good bit. Borland does not use that library, but rather links in its own, which incr...

My download was less than 10 megs. Let me see if I can find one. Here is the one you want - from archive.org: https://archive.org/do...

Re: An obfuscated C coding contest

This is one of my favorite pieces of code! Took me years (literally) to finally understand it. Here is a unobfuscated version: Thank you for sharing that.
