------=_NextPart_000_001A_01BE06B1.B42EDA20 charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Some days ago David asked for feedback regarding Dos32Lib and slow = machines. I've been testing it on my museum-brand 386SX-16, a real old = five-megger, with an uprated 240 Mbyte disk. Timing is really slow: Just to get to the first clear screen it takes 5 seconds. 32 seconds of = black screen end with the background painting, that takes 5 more = seconds. The program (EX19) did appear 28 seconds later... Just 1' 8" = to load what on a P200MMX is a snap. On the other hand, DOS32Lib is really GREAT!!!.=20 I just miss the window handling aspects (close, etc) but I suppose are = in the way... Jesus.
