Prior to PureBasic v4, file operations were not buffered. There was a need for a buffered file solution which would dramatically speed up file operations, and as a result the PBOSL FastFile library was created. It works well and serves a real need for pre- v4 PureBasic users. However, with the release of 4.0, Fantaisie made buffered file operations native and for current versions of PureBasic, FastFile is unnecessary as native functions provide equal or better performance. Hence it is unlikely the lib will ever be released for version 4.

Rings used a "mapped file" technic which is probably faster than the build-in functions but it shouldn't be a problem now.

here can you found the source for PB 3.94 http://www.purearea.net/pb/download/use ... SL_SRC.zip
i think recompile should work
PureBasic 5.73 | SpiderBasic 2.30 | Windows 10 Pro (x64) | Linux Mint 20.1 (x64)

And what about PureFILE by Gnozal ?
does it have "mapped file" technic inside ?
No programming language is perfect. There is not even a single best language.
There are only languages well suited or perhaps poorly suited for particular purposes. Herbert Mayer

No, buffered only.
