Update of Emu71/Win to v1.12 - Christoph Giesselink - 07-14-2020 06:58 PM

Emu71/Win v1.12 is a maintenance update available at http://hp.giesselink.com.

It fixes the performance catastrophe inside Emu71/Win until v1.11 in connection with the BASIC GOTO command. The test loop has now the expected loop time of ~0.08s and not the ~9s of the prior versions.

Some words to the installer version. The installers until v1.11 suggested to create the program links in the startmenu under HP-Emulators/Emu71. The Windows 10 shell don't support nested directories in the startmenu any more, so the links are created unter HP-Emulators when your are following the suggestion. This may create conflicts with my other emulators. The installer since v1.12 suggest the program links in the Startmenu directly under the Emu71 folder to avoid the conflicts.

What does this mean in practise. When you call the installer and uninstall the old version like suggested, the program links under Startmenu/HP-Emulators are removed and new onces are created under Startmenu/Emu71. When you overwrite without uninstalling, the links under Startmenu/HP-Emulators will stay and new onces are created under Startmenu/Emu71.

While we're on the topic of Emu71, please add the Women's Tennis Association overlay to the Emu71 Overlays file.

I'm experiencing a severe problem with duplicate keystrokes from the PC keyboard. This doesn't happen with v1.11. I've tried both calculator speeds.

I confirmed this behaviour on one PC, five others I tested work normal with v1.12. Nevertheless I had a look into the sources and I think I found and fixed the reason for this behavior in a beta version.

If you have the same problem with duplicate keystrokes on v1.12 you may send me an eMail or a PM.
