Hi
Trying to find fastfile for PB 4, but was refferer to PBOSL but i don't see it there.
Is there a FastFile for PB4?

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.

Faster than PB read file commands, not faster than PB 3.94 running FastFile!
