 LONDON:It's a snapshot from another political era. Forty-one years ago, in Britain's last referendum on Europe, Margaret Thatcher hit the campaign trail clad in a woolly jumper emblazoned with a Union flag.But the 1975 poll, which saw Britain embrace membership of what was then  <a href=https://www.adidas-samba-adidas.fr>samba og adidas</a> the Common Market, has plenty in common with the current bitter and closely-fought debate.Ex-UK Labour leaders urge pro-EU vote from membersIt also carries lessons for politicians ahead of the June 2 <a href=https://www.campusadidas.it>adidas campus 00's</a> 3 vote on whether to stay in or leave the European Union -- not least that the referendum may not resolve the issue for long.Labour prime minister H <a href=https://www.adidassamba.com.de>adidas samba rose</a> arold Wilson called the referendum on June 5, 1975, as a way of trying to appease the eurosceptic wing of his fractured party, and urged Britons to stay in after securing concessions from Brussels.This time around, it is Conservative premier David Cameron who is holding a vote to try to heal party splits, and who is campaigning to "Remain" on the basis of a renegotiated E Lamellar Biomedical and the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre have announced the recruitment of the first su <a href=https://www.yeezy.com.mx>yeezy 350</a> bject in their clinical study assessing Visco-ease鈥檚 ability to restore the function of saliva in patients undergoing radiotherapy for the treatment of Head and Neck Cancer.

I reverted my hacky "less printf" workaround on the dev branch, because a) it was implemented poorly and b) clearly wouldn't be effective if -D (displaying no progress update) doesn't alleviate the issue.

Case, do you feel that your patch is the way to proceed?

Thanks for the link. I installed ZoomText inside a virtualized Windows 11 and tried triggering the machine freeze, but I don't see any difference in behavior with different hmp3 compiles. Putting a conversion job running for my entire FLAC library keeps the machine fully usable and I can abort the task without issues. I tested both GCC and clang compiles for a few minutes.

@Chase - I appreciate you taking a look.  Honestly, I have no idea. 

The only builds that works are the clang versions and VS2022 helix builds from @JoshuaChang.

I also find it odd that I can encode with LAME, Vorbis, FAAC, FDKAAC, Opus, Musepack and speeds stay consistent with no system hang...it's just so weird to me.

If I want to use Helix, I guess I'm going to have to use @JoshuaChang versions if he would be willing to provide future builds.

I just love the speed and quality of Helix, but I could also use LAME in the future as well.

@Chase - Quick question, are there quality differences between the original Helix and the current 5.2.3 version?  I know LAME tags have been implemented, and gapless playback, right?  But was just curious if there are any quality/speed improvements?

Thank you again for trying to troubleshoot with Zoomtext, I am very appreciative of the time you took to try and help!

That repository is mentioned in the link I posted. Those are the Java player sources. Only other source is the original undocumented assembler code for the tracker, from the same guy. I hope you understand that re-creating the player from the assembler code would require insane amount of work.

Your Youtube video explains and shows the guy running the original tracker in Amiga emulator.

I'm not stopping you from creating a bug report, just warning that getting correct stereo playback may not be so simple.

Thanks for the update and happy to hear you got it solved. ZoomText sounds very invasive if it can cause the system to slow down. Would be fun to figure out what the problem is, but the software seems to be expensive and I don't even see demo option.

@Case  - I mentioned before that I am legally blind, so Zoomtext is a vital piece of software for me to have in order to use the computer. 

You are correct, Zoomtext is expensive.  I purchase a Home license, which is a subscription based plan.  So I buy 5 years at a time for $500.  For me, it's wroth it.

You can download a trial version of Zoomtext, but the caveat is that it doesn't expire in a certain amount of days, but instead, it can only run 40 minutes at a time, and then the system must restart to reset the activation timer.

I am not quite sure why this is happening with Zoomtext.  To be honest, I've had other issues with other things and Zoomtext, and I'm usually told I'm the only one who reports such issues, or that the program I'm having issues with (in this case Helix) is NOT officially supported by the Zoomtext software.

I do know that Zoomtext mirrors the screen and obviously enlarges it.  So I believe there may be some type of mirroring driver installed so it interfaces with windows and the screen.  I know for a fact there are services running in the background.

My guess to as to why exiting Zoomtext didn't work, is because it isn't completely unloading everything in the background, so services, etc are still running.

Anyway, if you're interested in trying Zoomtext, it can be downloaded here:
