Hi,

For a task I need fast file reading using OS cache system (Im using Windows) so if I read a file repeatedly it get less memory but my problem is file is large so I cant copy it to memory. Is there a way for it that be multi platform or at least works on Windows?

Regards, Ara

You can try memory mapping:

The same exists on Unices, using mmap().

Why OS cache system when you then talk about

file is large so I cant copy it to memory.

?

Can you please, Please, PLEASE provide context in your mails ?

It is impossible to know what you are answering to without any quoted text whatsoever.

That is very annoying.

Please ?

So SO sorry. It is because of my mail provider.It is fast and easy to use and I like it so much more than Gmail or what ever but it is not good for mail list.

As you an see I should copy and past what you said and quote that, and it is again not clean.

Although I try to quote when I talk to ore than one and in this case I answered just after Ondrej.

Excuse me for annoying, Ara

Indeed, it is terrible. ;-)

You can also use a NNTP news client (XanaNews is pretty good [https://github.com/graemeg/xananews/releases]) and post messages via that. Gmane supports that.

You can access the mailing list just as if it was a newsgroup through gmane. However, the list is private, so you can freely read it, but you may only post to it using gmane if you subscribe to the list.

To configure your newsreader to read Lazarus mail list you must: 1 - Subscribe to the mailing list using your e-mail 2 - Set the news server to: news.gmane.org
3 - Set the e-mail for use on this server to the one you used to subscribe on the list
4 - Look for gmane.comp.ide.lazarus.general using your news reader

Without quoted context, I'm assuming your are referring to XanaNews? ;-)

I didn't create it, but am maintaining it for now. The original SVN repository disappeared a year or so ago. I luckily had a full Git clone of it, so I made it public on Github. I then applied some of my own bug fixes, merged in some contributions, and made a few releases to date.

XanaNews is a great news reader, and very configurable, but unfortunately I don't really have time for new XanaNews development - only minor fixes here and there. My hope is that somebody would at some point step up and take over any new development work - maybe even port it to LCL (or fpGUI - a man can dream) to make it truly cross-platform. I works very will via WINE under FreeBSD though. At least having the XanaNews code in Git (and on Github) means the code will not be lost again.

No problem here. (with Thunderbird) The mails are decently threaded.

Thanks. My mail provider make everything threaded very good so there is no need to quote everything but for others it is pain so I should do something for it so from know I will quote previous email.

This is not about threading but about context, as Michael vC said. I.e. which part of the message is he replying to.

Henry

Also even on client software which handles threading properly, if somebody has a discussion group etc. sorted by date (to see messages as they arrive, without having to scroll back) threading is not immediately visible: /all/ you have is context.

On Thunderbird at least, I can, and I have, both thread AND date sort... seems to mostly sort threads by most recent message.

Here everything is immediately in FastMail and I don't have problem,Problem will happen for others just in Mail List. As I said,its on me to solve it and I try with quoting write now.

Please don't place a quote below your answer to same. This makes a thread unreadable

Michael

Please don't place a quote below your answer to same. This makes a

thread unreadable Like this? Without quote.

Like this?

A decent mail client automatically marks a quote with a standard quote marking scheme (see many other mails here).

So it seems mines is not decent or I dont know how to work with it. In the end I want to apologize to all for my trouble.

Thunderbird shows decently marked quotes by nicely colored vertical lines at the left and right side of the text: single line for a quote, dual line for a quote in a quote, etc.

Thanks. Ara

The sender does not create these lines. It only uses a decent scheme (with correctly placed ASCII characters).

Thunderbird just does the presentation to it's user.

-Michael

For example in previous email you quote my sentence and it shows you quoted from me and I like how it look.

Looks nice !

So your client does recognize the quoting scheme.

Hence it should be able to create it when sending.

Unfortunately it seems not.
